LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board on Saturday announced that a homebred coach will succeed the late Bob Woolmer.
 
At a press conference at the PCB headquarters  at Gaddafi Stadium here, Board chairman Nasim Ashraf said a new captain will be announced within 30 days, following Inzamam-ul-Haq's stepping down in the wake of the World Cup debacle.  
 
Ashraf said since Pakistan's next international assignment is the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in September, there was no need to appoint a coach immediately.
 
''In all probability we will certainly now look for a Pakistani coach, but it will take some time to find a suitable man,'' Ashraf, who quit from his post after Pakistan's early elimination from the World Cup but continued after President Pervez Musharraf's rejected his resignation, said.
 
On the naming of a new captain, he said, ''We don't want to make a hasty decision, we will name the captain and vice-captain within 30 days.''
