Luden was disappointed with Pakistan's poor show in the opening match against India Sunday which they lost by 76 runs at the Adelaide Oval.

The South African coach was upset after some cricketers expressed dissatisfaction over his working ways. Luden then decided to call it quits.

Luden was appointed by former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi May 30, 2014, after he was relieved by Bangladesh from the same post at the conclusion of the 2014 World Twenty20.

The South African was appointed soon after Waqar Younis was hired as head coach, Mushtaq Ahmad as bowling coach and Grant Flower as batting coach.
