The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to appoint Shaan Masood as the captain of the Test team, with an official announcement expected soon.
Following Babar Azam's resignation from captaincy in all formats after the World Cup, changes are underway in the national team and management. PCB initially offered Test captaincy to Babar Azam, who declined.
An immediate announcement of Shaan Masood as the Test captain is anticipated, with Shahin Afridi considered a strong contender for leading the Green Shirts in T20, and former captain Mohammad Hafeez may take on significant responsibilities in the management.
