Talking to APP, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official said the PCB is looking for a replacement for previous fielding coach Steve Rixon who did not wanted to renew his contact which expired in June.

"Previously PCB contacted former Australian cricketer Darren Berry who refused to take the role of fielding coach therefore the board is eyeing to rope in someone else for the job," he said.
