On Wednesday, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the appointment of David Reid, hailing from Australia, as the mental performance coach for the national team in preparation for the T20 World Cup.
According to the PCB, the management team for the T20 World Cup will include a mental performance coach. David Reid, a well-known expert in mental health from Australia, has previously collaborated with the IPL team Chennai Super Kings, the Big Bash League team Melbourne Stars, and Australian Olympic athletes.
Reid is recognized for his ability to guide athletes in maintaining focus on their goals.
The Australian mental health specialist will be supporting the team during the T20 World Cup and the upcoming tour of England. He is set to join the Pakistan cricket team on May 20.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi emphasized that prioritizing players’ mental well-being is not only a key focus for the board but also a core commitment, as on-field performance is closely tied to the mental state of players.
Naqvi expressed optimism that having an experienced professional like David Reid on board will prove beneficial for Pakistani players both on and off the field.
