Shahid Nazir "Specialist Batting and Bowling Coaches Not Needed on Tours"

[Saj]

One of the most interesting quotes in the recent interview that Shahid Nazir did with PakPassion was as follows :-


PakPassion.Net: You said that Waqar is a very good choice as bowling coach. Do you think there should also be a batting coach, or do you think the Intikhab-Waqar setup will be sufficient for our team?

Shahid Nazir: "My personal opinion is that batting and bowling coaches are not exactly needed. In the off season (when the team comes home or when there is a gap of a week or two), yes the players should work-out with batting and bowling coaches. On tours though, I don’t think so many people are needed. A coach is already travelling with the team. I don’t think there’s an additional need of a batting coach or a bowling coach. There’s already an academy in place, and Aqib Javed is a very good bowling coach working on the bowlers there".


There seems to be a lot of discussions at the moment about whether the Pakistan team needs a specialist fielding coach and of course whether Waqar should be appointed as a specialist bowling coach.

As well as the aformentioned, quite a few Pakistan fans are saying that a specialist batting coach should be appointed, for example someone like Saeed Anwar.

I just wonder whether the players themselves are in favour of specialist coaches or whether they would prefer just one coach whilst on a tour, or perhaps no coach at all?

This is Pakistan,we cannot take the risk without them,the boys need guidance especially away from home

Like Inti and Aqib, it would be good to have a head coach and assistant coach. They aren't branded as 'specialist coaches' but together contribute all-round.
My ideal set-up is:

Waqar - Head Coach (assisting with bowling as well as other aspects, such as tactics and planning etc.)

Saeed Anwar - Assistant coach (acts as a very good batting consultant. As the name suggests, assists Waqar with tactics and planning etc.)

I have to agree with Shahid Nazir that on tours close to actual games, the coaching staff can't do much to teach the players new things. Instead the coaches should focus on what are the player's strengths and how best to use it in the team. The stress and pressures of constant travelling, new playing environment, time limitations and matches do not provide the most conducive learning environment to the players.

I'd like to respectfully disagree with Shahid Nazir.

In fact Pakistan need specialist coaches on tour with them even more so.

I'm with Juggernaut on this.

I think with the Pakistani team a fielding coach isn't necessary on away tours, but a bowling coach is a must.
