LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Sunday the dissolution of the current national selection committee ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. Vide
PCB spokesperson confirmed that a new selection committee will be formed soon, focusing on making merit-based independent decisions for team selection.
The previous committee, which was led by Wahab Riaz, has been dissolved, and the PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is expected to announce the new committee in the coming days.
Reports in local media said Wahab Riaz is likely to retain his position as chief selector, whereas Abdul Razzaq will get a role in the committee. The new selection committee will have the authority to hire a new coach and choose the national team captain, with empowered departments being held accountable for their decisions.
The now-dissolved selection committee was led by former Pakistani pacer Wahab Riaz while other members included Tauseef Ahmed, Wajahatullah Wasti, and Wasim Haider.
Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar were the consultant members and Hasan Muzaffar Cheema was the manager analyst in the committee.
According to the sources, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi will hold a press conference today during which he will likely announce the new selection committee.
