Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced a new seven-member selection committee for the Pakistan cricket team during a press conference in Lahore on Sunday.
The previous committee led by Wahab Riaz was dissolved earlier this morning after which the reorganised selection committee was announced.
The PCB chief confirmed that the committee will no longer have a chairman and each member will have the same power so the decision-making process remains smooth.
“We have reorganised this selection committee, this [selection committee] will consist of seven members, but what is different this time is there will be no chairman selection committee, each member would have the same power as the other one,” Naqvi said in a presser.
“The decision would be [decided] on the majority, they should debate, and talk amongst themselves so a better conclusion can be reached. The previous structure of the committee was different, but this one, I assure you every member was chosen after considering multiple factors.”
The selection committee will consist of former cricketers Mohammad Yousuf, Wahab Riaz, Abdul Razzaq and Asad Shafiq, said Naqvi, adding that the head coach, captain and analyst will be the other members.
He added that there will be two to three coordinators but they will not have any voting powers.
"This committee will decide every single decision from now on. They are our key players in the management who will make decisions and I am sure that they will give good results," said the PCB chairman.
“The chairman should have no role in the selection process, we are the management and our job is to manage the team. I am hopeful that these new members will give you positive results.
Speaking about the team's coaches, Naqvi stated that the management was working on it. He said that the PCB was making a proper panel for the coaches which is in the final stages.
Naqvi said that there will be national as well as international coaches and will be finalised in four to five days.
