Grant Bradburn, 57, served as the fielding coach of the Pakistan men’s team from 2018 to 2020 and later as the Head of High-Performance Coaching at NCA until October 2021. During his recent tenure as head coach, Pakistan achieved the No. 1 spot in the ICC ODI team rankings. Recently, he left to join Glamorgan as head coach under a three-year deal.
