A retired Pakistani fast bowler is emerging as the frontrunner for the position of Chief Selector.

Zaka Ashraf, Chairman of the Management Committee at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is considering Wahab Riaz as the primary candidate for the role of Chief Selector. Insider sources suggest that, although Younis Khan and Mohammad Hafeez are also being considered, Wahab Riaz is currently perceived as the strongest contender.

Former Pakistani cricketers, including Younis Khan, Mohammad Hafeez, Wahab Riaz, and Sohail Tanvir, met with Zaka Ashraf on Tuesday at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.

 

The PCB is gearing up to announce a new selection committee, which will discuss the composition of the Test squad from November 20 to 24. Concurrently, plans are underway for a training camp to include players who have showcased exceptional performances in domestic cricket.

Following the Australian Test tour, Pakistan is set to participate in 19 T20Is as part of their preparations for the T20 World Cup in June, scheduled to take place in the West Indies and the USA.
