The new Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Selection Committee is expected to benamed next week before the first T20 International between Pakistan and NewZealand is played.

Head coach Misbah-ul-Haq’s tenure as Chief Selector of the national cricketteam ended on November 30 after he has resigned from his position.

After Misbah’s resigned, PCB had also supposedly discarded the NationalSelection Committee including provincial coaches.

The board has decided to re-establish the traditional selectioncommittee consisting of a Chief Selector and three members.

As per sources, Peshawar Zalmi director and former Test cricketer MohammadAkram is the leading applicant for the role of new Chief Selector.
