Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering three names for the new Test captain after continuous defeats under the leadership of Shan Masood.
He is the only captain of Pakistan to face defeat in the first six matches.
The national team could not get a single victory under the Shan Masood. Australia whitewashed Pakistan in a three-match Test series; then we lost to Bangladesh by 2-0, and now to England in the opening Test.
The Board is considering potential candidates like Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, and Salman Ali Agha to replace Shan.
An important meeting of the PCB’s selection committee and the team’s head coaches is expected today, in which new names will be considered for the leadership role.
Masood was appointed Test captain on November 15, 2023, and was to lead the team until the end of the current Test Championship cycle.
Earlier, the board announced the new selection committee for the national team.
The captain and head coach has been removed from the new selection committee of the national team; Aleem Dar, Aqib Javed, Asad Shafiq, Azhar Ali and Hasan Cheema are included in the new selection committee. All five members will be voting members.
The non-voting members include Azhar Mehmood, Bilal Afzal, Nadeem Khan, and Usman Wahla.
