Although Steve Rixon, the former Australia wicketkeeper and New Zealand coach, has been sounded out as a potential coach of Pakistan but he said that the still unexplained death of Bob Woolmer has left him in doubt whether he wants the job. Rixon said whether he put in for the Pakistan position might depend on what police uncovered about Woolmer's death in Jamaica at the World Cup. He confirmed that he has been contacted by PCB but he also said he hadn't indicated if he was interested.
Rixon reportedly never applied for the Pakistan position but instead was contacted by the PCB because of his impressive record as New Zealand's coach from 1996 to 1999. Rixon also spent two years at the helm of Surrey from 2004-05 and has also had two separate stints as the coach of New South Wales. He hoped to return to the international ranks as John Buchanan's replacement to the Australian side but Tim Nielsen was chosen by Australia instead.
