Frankly speaking, I am not averse to being the head coach but this time, to be honest, I am not mentally prepared for it,\u201d Waqar said from Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waqar didn\u2019t have an easy time as head coach in his last tenure when he was forced to leave after his hard-hitting report on the team was leaked out from the board hours after he had submitted it following the team\u2019s return from an unsuccessful 2016 World T20 campaign in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The feared fast bowler was accused by his critics of being arrogant and not player-friendly and unable to leave the glory of his playing days behind him as a coach.But Waqar dismissed this impression and said he would be comfortable working under a head coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have been bowling coach with several outfits in the past and I have worked and learned a lot from other coaches. It is a wrong impression I can\u2019t work under any coach because of my stature as a player,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis has applied for the bowling coach role with the national team as he was not mentally prepared to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":69018,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69017"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69017\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69019,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69017\/revisions\/69019"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
