The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed Michael Smith as the national team’s batting coach on a two-year deal. He is expected to join the squad for their upcoming tour of England in August, with the aim of addressing recent batting inconsistencies.

The appointment comes after Pakistan suffered several batting collapses during their recent series against the West Indies. The PCB hopes that Smith will bring stability and resilience to the Pakistani batting unit.
