Dejected Pak bowling coach Luden resigns over top-players' confrontationist attitude

Karachi, Feb 18 (ANI): Pakistan cricket team dealt a severe blow to their already shaky World Cup campaign as fielding coach Grant Luden has reportedly resigned over the non-cooperative attitude of some players. According to the Dawn, Luden was unhappy over the attitude of some players with him and felt extremely disappointed with their poor show against India in the opening match in Adelaide. However, subsequent reports also stated that the team management had put in a lot of effort to finally persuade Luden to withdraw his resignation after assuring him that all his grievances would be addressed. Luden assumed charge as fielding mentor last year after Waqar Younis was hired as head coach, Mushtaq Ahmad as spin bowling coach and Grant Flower as the batting coach. (ANI)
