LAHORE: Grant Bradburn has sent his resignation to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as the head of the National High-Performance Centre (NHPC)’s coaching. 

According to PCB, Bradburn resigned from his post to explore more coaching opportunities across the world.

Bradburn, a former New Zealand’s Test cricketer, worked with the Pakistan team as fielding coach from September 2018 to June 2020 followed by his tenure as head of coaching at NHPC.

“It has been an honour and privilege to serve Pakistan, providing challenge and support, to drive the players, coaches and teams forward. I will leave PCB grateful for the wonderful opportunities and the experiences I have gained,

“As a foreigner, I felt welcomed and valued by my present and former PCB colleagues, players, officials and the Pakistan public. I have always felt safe here, loved exploring this wonderful country and made many lifetime friends,

“My wife Maree and three children have also sacrificed a lot in allowing me to serve Pakistan cricket. Covid-19 regulations made it challenging for them to visit Pakistan and feel the warmth, love and friendship this country offers. It is now time for me to prioritise family and move forward to the next coaching challenge,” Bradburn said in a statement released by the PCB.
