1. The first-ever PCB Certified Level
I Coaching Course concluded at the National Cricket Academy on 30
November 2004. The closing session was also attended by the Chairman,
PCB who termed the successful conclusion of the course, a land mark
beginning of a new era in development of the game of cricket in Pakistan.
The Chairman expressed hope that soon all institutions, departments
and regional teams will have qualified coaches who would know the
intricacies of the specialised field of coaching, neglected thus far
in Pakistan. He also said that the employment of qualified coaches
at the grass roots level, will refine the raw talent at a young age
and help them in improving their skills as they grow.
2. Mr Daryl Foster, the Chief Tutor
of the course said, "For Pakistan it was an epoch making moment and
instead of depending on outside help, it has been rightly chosen to
move forward by developing its own indigenous Coach Education Programme."
According to Mr Foster, "this was the most important step in putting
cricketing structures in place in Pakistan. Soon Pakistan's cricket
at all tiers would feel the impact of this programme. The coaches
having qualified from this programme should soon commence imparting
training to clubs and first class teams and the difference in those
critical stages of development would be quite discernible."
