Zaka Ashraf, the chairman of newly appointed management committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has offered former Test cricketer Mohammad Hafeez to become national team's chief selector.
According to the sources, Ashraf met Hafeez, who took retirement in 2022, on Thursday to offer him key post in the new setup. The cricketer-turned-analyst asked for some time to think about the offer.
During the meeting, Hafeez congratulated Ashraf for becoming the new head of PCB.
"Zaka Ashraf is a good administrator. I honestly respect him a lot. I will definitely consider a good offer to serve Pakistan cricket," the former all-rounder said.
Reportedly, current chief selector Haroon Rashid will be removed from his post soon.
Apart from Hafeez, former Test cricketers Younis Khan, Mohsin Hassan Khan, Saleem Yousuf and Shoaib Akhtar are also likely to get certain positions in the new selection setup.
The federal government, on July 5, had appointed Ashraf as the chairman a new management committee.
The federal government approved the formation of the committee through the circulation of a summary.
The 10-member committee has been placed in charge for a period of four months.
A new chief election commissioner was also appointed with Mahmood Iqbal replacing Ahmed Shehzad Farooq Rana.
The names of the 10-member committee are as follows:
Zaka Ashraf (chairman), Kaleem Ullah Khan, Ashfaq Akhtar, Musaddiq Islam, Azmat Parvez, Zaheer Abbas, Khurram Karim Somroo, Khuwaja Nadeem, Mustafa Ramday and Zulfiqar Malik.
