LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board has added two former captains to the national men’s selection committee.
According to an update on the PCB’s official website, Misbah-ul-Haq and Sarfaraz Ahmed have been appointed as members of the selection committee.
They will join Aaqib Javed and Asad Shafiq, who will continue to serve on the panel. With the new appointments, the national selection committee now consists of four members.
The development comes after Aleem Dar resigned from the selection committee three days ago following Pakistan’s early exit from the recent cricket World Cup.
Pakistan Cricket Board has decided not to make major changes to the national team despite its disappointing performance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
According to sources, the board has opted to maintain continuity in its policies and will not replace the captain or coaching staff in any format.
Sources said that head coach Mike Hesson will continue his role in One Day International and T20 formats as per his contract. Meanwhile, Salman Ali Agha will remain captain in the T20 format, while Shaheen Shah Afridi has been retained as captain for One Day Internationals.
The decision reflects the board’s approach to support team leadership rather than making immediate changes after major defeats.
Sources also confirmed that the resignation of Aleem Dar from the national selection committee has been accepted.
