Misbah, Inzamam and Hafeez appointed to PCB cricket technical committee
Last week, PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf had announced the creation of a “high-profile” technical committee charged with reporting to him, to be headed by former Pakistan captain Misbah.
The committee has been given wide-ranging powers, encompassing nearly all cricketing exercise in Pakistan. “The CTC (Cricket Technical Committee) will provide recommendations on cricket-related matters, including, but not limited to the overall domestic structure, scheduling, playing conditions, appointment of the national selection committees, appointment of national team coaches, central and domestic contracts and plans for the development of umpires, referees and curators,” an announcement from the PCB mentioned. “The CTC will have the powers to invite additional cricket experts, and shall report to the head of the PCB Management Committee on a regular basis.”
The most rapid activity the committee faces is a choice on the destiny of Pakistan’s teaching workers. In an interview earlier this week, Ashraf mentioned the committee would share their findings with him earlier than a closing choice, which ESPNcricinfo understands will likely be reached as early as the tip of this week.
The CTC will even be tasked with getting ready for the upcoming Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, which begins subsequent month. The home construction will endure a revamp this season, with departments returning to the fray. It isn’t but clear if they may play alongside areas within the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
“I am delighted to welcome Misbah-ul-Haq, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Hafeez on board for the betterment of cricket in our country,” Ashraf mentioned. “These three former captains possess great cricket knowledge and understand the demands of modern-day cricket.
“Domestic cricket construction is a pillar of any cricketing nation. We need to make it foolproof and its construction progressive. The presence of Misbah, Inzamam and Hafeez, three of Pakistan’s most skilled and adorned cricketers who rose via the home ranks, will assist us in offering our cricketers the very best system to thrive in order that we are able to produce the very best cricketers.”
Misbah called his appointment as head of the committee a “nice honour” and a “difficult task. I’ve little question in anyway that we can make a optimistic distinction by offering suggestions that enhance and improve the state of the sport from the grassroots until the very high.”
The committee convenes forward of Pakistan’s run-in to the World Cup in India in October. Pakistan play a three-match ODI collection in opposition to Afghanistan in Sri Lanka in August, earlier than the ODI Asia Cup begins on August 30, with Nepal and Pakistan enjoying the opener in Multan.
