Former Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq tipped for top PCB post

ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq is likely to be given a key role by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

According to sources, the PCB had recently advertised the position of Director Cricket Operations (International), and Misbah-ul-Haq has emerged as the top contender for the post.

Sources revealed that for the first time, the eligibility criteria in the job advertisement specifically required the candidate to be a former Test or One Day International (ODI) cricketer.

It is worth mentioning that the PCB had earlier suspended Director of International Cricket Operations Usman Wahla for his alleged mishandling of the situation during the Pakistan-India dispute in the Asia Cup, although he was later reinstated.
