Pakistan name Hesson as white-ball coach
Former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson will take charge of Pakistan's limited-overs sides from May 26, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Tuesday.
Hesson led New Zealand to the 50-overs World Cup final in 2015 during his six-year spell as head coach and has also coached Kenya and Indian Premier League franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The 50-year-old is currently head coach of Pakistan Super League defending champions Islamabad United.
"Mike brings with him a wealth of international experience and a proven track record of developing competitive sides," PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in a statement.
"We look forward to his expertise and leadership in shaping the future of Pakistan's white-ball cricket."
Hesson takes over from Aqib Javed who was appointed on an interim basis in November, a month after Gary Kirsten resigned barely six months after taking the job.
Javed, who also took over as Pakistan's interim red-ball coach after Jason Gillespie resigned in December, has been appointed as director of high performance, the PCB said.
It did not provide details on who would take over as test coach on a full-time basis.

Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham laments challenge of Super Rugby away days after another s-final loss
ACT Brumbies' coach Stephen Larkham before the Super Rugby Pacific semi-final against the Waikato Chiefs at FMG Stadium in Hamilton on June 14, 2025. PHOTO: AFP Coach Stephen Larkham did not believe his ACT Brumbies side went into the June 14 Super Rugby Pacific clash with the Waikato Chiefs in a negative frame of mind despite the team's dismal semi-final track record. The Brumbies crashed out in the semi-finals for the fourth season in a row as Larkham's side lost 37-17 to the Chiefs, who set up an all-New Zealand final against the Canterbury Crusaders in Christchurch on June 21. 'Psychologically, I thought we were in a good place, I thought our preparation was really good to build into this game from the other games that we've played,' said Larkham. 'I don't know if that was a factor. We certainly have spoken a lot to make sure that that doesn't come into it. 'It's hard to play away from home, whether it's in Australia or New Zealand. There is an advantage to the home side and I thought they played really well.' Larkham has been at the helm for three of the Brumbies' four semi-final losses, having also overseen a defeat at the hands of the Chiefs in 2023 ahead of last year's reversal against the Auckland Blues. Those defeats prompted the former Wallaby to launch reviews into his team's operations and Larkham vowed to go through a similar process when the current season concludes after his side's clash with the British and Irish Lions in July. 'We'll go through the process of identifying, particularly in these last two games, what wasn't robust, what isn't good enough yet and spend enough time in the off-season to put us in a better position,' he said. 'The British and Irish Lions game for us is around the corner. We'll have a short prep going into that. We'll run the same programme that we've been running into this game, we'll just see if we can do it better.' REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

McKenzie kicks Chiefs into third straight Super Rugby Pacific final
Damian McKenzie kicked 22 points as the Waikato Chiefs played near perfect playoff rugby to reach a third straight Super Rugby Pacific final with a convincing 37-17 win over the ACT Brumbies in Hamilton on Saturday. Emoni Narawa scored tries either side of halftime and Josh Jacomb also crossed but it was McKenzie's all-round game and almost perfect night from the kicking tee to punish Brumbies ill-discipline that proved the difference. The Chiefs, runners-up for the last two years, will travel to Christchurch next week to play for the title against the Canterbury Crusaders, who edged the reigning champion Auckland Blues 21-14 in Friday's first semi. "Outstanding performance from the lads," said All Blacks flyhalf McKenzie, who kicked six penalties and two conversions. "The Brumbies come out of the box fast, like we knew they would, and I just love the way we were really composed to stick to our game. "We put the ball in front of our forwards, and obviously our set piece was great tonight. So when we got into the 22 we managed to come away with points most of the time." The Brumbies had the better of possession and territory and also scored three tries but lost Wallabies flyhalf Noah Lolesio to concussion in the 10th minute and spurned a few opportunities to kick for points when the game was still in the balance. "We had to play close to a perfect game to come out here and get the result," said skipper Allan Alaalatoa. "And we probably saw there in the second half that accuracy let us down. And off the back of that probably our discipline as well." The visitors, hoping to become the first Australian team to win a Super Rugby playoff in New Zealand, scored the opening try through hooker Billy Pollard in the 15th minute off a trademark rolling maul. The Chiefs were already a man down after Tupou Vaa'i had been sent to the sin bin for a high tackle but were back on level terms soon after the lock returned, Nawara picking up from the base of a ruck and going over unopposed. Two McKenzie penalties put the home side ahead before Brumbies winger Corey Toole reined them in with a try from a Jack Debreczeni crosskick. Another couple of McKenzie three-pointers gave the Chiefs a 19-12 halftime lead and they retained it even after Toole beat two tacklers to go over in the corner for his second try. Nawara grabbed his brace in the 47th minute and three more McKenzie kicks extended the lead to 32-17 going into the last quarter. McKenzie got the assist when Jacomb went over in the 65th minute and the flyhalf made amends for missing the conversion - his only kicking blemish - by racing back and putting in a try-saving tackle on Brumbies fullback Tom Wright a minute later. The visitors kept hammering away trying to snap their run of three successive semi-final losses but the Chiefs held firm to earn the trip to Christchurch, where the Crusaders are unbeaten in 31 playoff matches over three decades of Super Rugby.
