According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sources, Whatmore has finalised all the details of the contract and would sign it in Lahore on Feb 20.

Whatmore visited Lahore on Jan 14 and almost settled all the issues with the PCB, but the announcement was delayed for one month since both the parties agreed to delay it owing to the England series under way in the UAE.

Whatmore will take charge of the team from interim head coach Mohsin Khan after the ongoing series against England.
