Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson is yet to make up his mind regarding the decision to become the Pakistan cricket team's head coach. The Pakistan Cricket Board is ready to accept the fee demanded by Watson. According to the sources on the board, he has demanded $2 million annually, which is approximately 46 million rupees per month, the highest fee ever paid to a foreign coach.

Former foreign coaches of Pakistan such as Richard Pybus, Bob Woolmer, Geoff Lawson, Dav Whatmore, Grant Bradburn and Mickey Arthur were paid much less than what Watson demanded.
