The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has established an observatory committee tasked with overseeing player selection and other pertinent cricket-related matters.
Sources revealed on Thursday that former Pakistan cricketers Sikandar Bakht and Sarfaraz Ahmed are set to lead this newly formed committee.
The observatory committee will also be responsible for reviewing issues concerning the domestic cricket circuit.
Mohammad Rizwan’s ODI Captaincy Under Review
In a separate development, Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is expected to be removed from his role as the One-Day International (ODI) captain.
According to insider sources, a definitive decision regarding this leadership change is anticipated in the coming days. Head coach Mike Hesson has already initiated consultations concerning this potential shift in captaincy.
Salman Ali Agha, who currently leads the T20 International team, is considered a strong candidate to take over the ODI captaincy.
In addition to appointing a new captain, Head Coach Mike Hesson is also expected to name a vice-captain for the ODI squad.
