Dubai: Pakistan head coach Dav Whatmore has wished to end his tenure with the team on a high note by winning a test series against a country which he coached to win the World Cup 18 years ago.
Pakistan hasn’t won a test series since Whatmore joined them in 2012, but the former Australia test batsman said he wanted to end his job on a winning note.
“(I want to) win, particularly against Sri Lanka, the team I coached for six years,” Whatmore said as he prepared Pakistan for Wednesday’s second test after drawing the first of a three-match series in Abu Dhabi.
“I am keen on doing well against them, some of them are very good friends but when I enter the field we are enemies, so I am keen to finish the stint with a win.”
Whatmore twice coached Sri Lanka and was the coach of the side which won the World Cup in 1996 in Lahore.
