NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board of Friday appointed New Zealander Grant Bradburn as head coach of men's team for the upcoming limited-overs series against New Zealand.
South Africa's Andrew Puttick was also named the batting coach of the team.
Bradburn, 56, played 7 Tests and 11 ODIs for the Kiwis before taking up coaching.
The head coach position fell vacant after Saqlain Mushtaq's term ended in February. Abdul Rahman filled in for the three Twenty20s against Afghanistan last month.
The recruitment process for the team management beyond the New Zealand tour was ongoing, the PCB said in a statement.
Bradburn was previously head coach of Scotland, and worked with Pakistan as the fielding coach between 2018 and 2020.
Former Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur will take up team director position after the New Zealand series, according to local media reports.
Pakistan will host New Zealand for five T20s starting April 14, followed by five one-day internationals.
