Former Pakistan Cricket Team Captain Mohammad Hafeez expressed his gratitude towards Chairman PCB Management Committee Zaka Ashraf for appointing him as Team Director. In a statement, Hafeez conveyed his pride and excitement in taking on this new responsibility for Pakistan cricket, recognizing the inherent challenges that come with the role.
Hafeez emphasized his determination to collaborate with the coaching staff and players, aiming for collective efforts to achieve optimal performance and bring joy to the fans.
The decision to introduce changes in both the team and management stemmed from Pakistan's underwhelming performance in the World Cup 2023, with a looming test series ahead.
Sources revealed that Hafeez's appointment was a result of favorable consideration by Zaka Ashraf, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s Cricket Management Committee (CMC).
Hafeez, demonstrating his commitment, had also expressed his availability for the position.
