LAHORE: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 11th, 2024) The Pakistan cricket board (PCB) on Wednesday officially unveiled a new selection committee in response to the disappointing performance of the national team at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
The move aims to rejuvenate the team's selection process following its recent setback in the tournament.
Former cricketers Mohammad Yousuf and Asad Shafiq along with renowned coaches Jason Gillespie and Gary Kirsten, form the core of the newly constituted committee.
Besides it, captains Shan Masood and Babar Azam of Pakistan's men's teams will assume pivotal roles within this committee.
A Primary task for the newly formed committee would be to finalize the squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, due to be held in Pakistan next month.
The prospective players invited to the training camp would undergo rigorous fitness assessments before the final squad selection.
Just a day before, a major organizational change, Bilal Afzal, previously a part of the selection committee, would transition into a new role within the PCB.
Absent from the new committee are data analyst Hassan Cheema and Director of International Cricket Usman Wahla.
