Delhi: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is going to make major changes in the national team in the coming time. It is reported that Salman Ali Aga can be made the captain of all formats. Along with this, there is also a plan to remove the current captain of the Test team Shaan Masood.
“Observatory committee will take decision”
PCB is going to form a new “Observatory Committee” after Eid. The job of this committee will have to keep an eye on the activities related to the team and cricket and send recommendations to the board chairman.
Sarfaraz and Sikander Bakht were called
According to sources, former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed and former fast bowler Sikandar Bakht were called to Lahore to join the committee. They have also been informed about the inclusion of this new committee. It is being told that some more former players can also be a part of it.
Change in selection committee is also possible
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, the new white-ball coach Mike Hessen and their other close advisors are discussing. There is a discussion that the role of the selection committee can also be changed. Either the existing committee will change or a new selection committee will be formed, which will focus on finding talent from domestic and junior cricket.
Coach and captain will get more rights
Sources also say that Chairman Naqvi has to assign the right responsibilities to the right people. A plan is also being made to give more rights to the coach and captain in team selection.
Test team’s next series and potential new coach
Salman Ali Aga has already been made the captain of the T20 team. Now they can also be given the captaincy of the Test team. This change can come out with the declaration of a new head coach for the Test team. Pakistan’s next Test match will be in the domestic series against South Africa this year, which will also begin the new cycle of the ICC World Test Championship. This year Pakistan will play only five Test matches.
