Overview
- Multiple reports said Shane McDermott resigned and left his Pakistan coaching role, with outlets publishing the news on Sunday.
- Sources say McDermott will not travel with the national side for the upcoming two-Test trip to the West Indies and the subsequent three-Test tour of England.
- The Pakistan Cricket Board has not issued an official statement about the departure, and domestic coach Mansoor Amjad is widely reported as the likely short-term replacement.
- McDermott had been with Pakistan for about a year after joining in early July 2025 and media coverage credited him with visible improvements to the team's fielding.
- His exit adds to a recent pattern of foreign support‑staff departures from Pakistan cricket and creates an immediate operational gap as the board readies the squad for multiple tours and long-term white-ball planning toward the 2027 ODI World Cup.
