The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed former Test captain Inzamam-ul-Haq as the chief selector of the national men's team.
In an announcement made on Monday, PCB confirmed that Inzamam, who was named in the Cricket Technical Committee (CTC) last week, has assumed charge as men's team chief selector.
Inzamam previously served as chief selector from 2016 to 2019. His selected team won the Champions Trophy under the leadership of Sarfaraz Ahmed in 2017.
The former Test cricketer will once again work with Mickey Arthur, Pakistan team director, to select the national squads for the upcoming Afghanistan series, Asia Cup and World Cup.
PCB's CTC, headed by Misbah-ul-Haq, recommended Inzamam's appointment to PCB Management Committee chairman Zaka Ashraf. The CTC also includes former captain Mohammad Hafeez.
The committee is supposed to 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.
They will also have the powers to invite additional cricket experts, and shall report to the head of the PCB Management Committee on a regular basis.
