According to sources, the board is reviewing its current setup as part of a broader restructuring plan.
Younis Khan in Line for Test Team Role
Sources indicate that former Pakistan captain Younis Khan is a leading candidate for the position of Test team head coach.
In addition, the PCB is also considering him for a role on the national selection committee.
If appointed, Younis would bring extensive international experience and leadership to Pakistan’s red-ball setup.
Hafeez Tipped for Senior PCB Position
Meanwhile, former captain and all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez is likely to be appointed as the PCB’s Director of International Cricket.
Furthermore, sources suggest that he may also receive responsibilities within the national selection committee.
As a result, Hafeez could play a significant role in shaping Pakistan’s future cricket strategy and player development plans.
Changes Expected in Test Team Setup
The reported restructuring may also affect the Test team’s coaching and leadership positions.
According to sources, current Test team coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and captain Shan Masood could be removed from their respective roles.
However, Sarfaraz Ahmed is expected to continue working with the Pakistan Shaheens team.
Therefore, his involvement in player development and emerging talent programmes is likely to continue.
PCB Yet to Make Official Announcement
So far, the PCB has not issued an official statement regarding the reported appointments or management changes.
Nevertheless, discussions about a possible restructuring have generated considerable interest among cricket followers and analysts.
For now, the reported changes remain under consideration, and the board is expected to make a formal announcement after completing its review process.
