Pakistan elected former captain Ramiz Raja as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday, and hours later announced former Australian opener Matthew Hayden would be head coach for next month’s Twenty20 World Cup. Raja, 59, a former national opener himself, was elected unopposed to replace Ehsan Mani whose three-year tenure ended last month a Pakistan Cricket Board statement said. Raja played 57 Tests and 198 One Day International (ODI)s for Pakistan between 1984 and 1997. In his first press conference, Raja announced Hayden had been appointed head coach and former South African Vernon Philander put in charge of the bowling for the national team for the Twenty20 World Cup.
