ENG vs PAK Test Series 2026: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has surprised cricket fans by posting an open job vacancy on LinkedIn to hire a new fielding coach for the Pakistan national cricket team on Tuesday.
This strange hiring step happened right in the middle of their tour against the England national cricket team.
Pakistan recently lost the second match at Lord’s Cricket Ground by 194 runs after dropping several easy catches on the field.
With fans sharing funny jokes online, the cricket board is now looking for someone who can teach its players basic catching skills.
Poor Fielding At Lord’s Forces PCB To Search Online
Pakistan’s fielding in England has been very poor since the start of the tour. During the second Test in London, fielders gave multiple chances to English batters by dropping simple catches in the slips and outfield.
England took full advantage of these mistakes and won the match easily to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Instead of quietly appointing a coach through normal cricket contacts, the board put up a public post on a corporate job website, asking for someone to help fix their catching problems before the last game.
PCB Demands Coaching Experience And Computer Skills In Job Post
The job post on LinkedIn states that candidates must have a Level Two coaching badge and at least five years of working experience with international or domestic teams.
In a funny addition for an on-ground sports role, the board also asked applicants to have good computer knowledge and skills in Microsoft Office.
The last date to apply for this job is September eight, which is just one day before the third Test match begins in Birmingham, leaving very little time for the new coach to join.
Cricket Fans Share Funny Memes On Social Media
The LinkedIn job post quickly became viral on the internet, with fans sharing jokes about how easy it might be to apply.
Many supporters joked that anyone who can simply catch a tennis ball in their backyard should send in a resume right away.
While hiring staff through open ads is normal for regular offices, doing it for an international cricket team during an active tour in England has given cricket lovers a lot of reasons to smile and laugh.
