English-born Pybus told Bloomberg News he did not want to move to Pakistan.

It was his third stint in the job and his latest contract saw Pybus coaching Pakistan on their tour of England.

Pakistan drew the two Test series and made the final of a triangular one-day tournament, which was won by Australia.

Pybus, who lives in South Africa, said: "I won't be extending my work with Pakistan, so they will soon be in the marketplace for a new coach.

Pybus had previously coached the team to the 1999 World Cup final and to a 3-0 Test series defeat to Australia on the 1999-2000 tour. He was fired after both.

He said he might continue working with the Pakistan team as a consultant.

Pybus added: "I really enjoyed working with the boys, particularly Waqar Younis, who proved himself a great captain in England.

"I would welcome a consultancy role as I want to see them challenging Australia and South Africa regularly."

Pakistan play a home Test series against New Zealand in September, followed by the second Asian Test Championship also involving Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh.
