Pakistan's former Test captain Rameez Raja feels that it will not be
easy for the cricket board to find a replacement for outgoing coach
Waqar Younis, who will leave the national team after the Zimbabwe tour.

"He had a commanding presence in the dressing room because of his
cricketing background and he had plenty of international experience as
well. I thought he gelled the team well together despite the rebuilding
process going on in our cricket," Rameez said.
The former captain pointed out that Waqar had played a pivotal role
in the smooth entry of new players into the national team since last
year.
"I think the way Waqar handled the situation and the team under him
delivered good results despite the many controversies and scandals it
faced since last year it is a big credit to him and the management that
is why I say our task is not going to be an easy one to find a new
coach," he noted.
He conceded there was a difference of opinion over whether the team should have a foreign or local coach.
"Both have their pros and cons and I say whoever is best for the team
and has the respect of the players must come in. We are talking about
the future of Pakistan cricket and we also need to look at the tenure of
the new coach," he said
