We need to think outside the box. We are exploring different optionsregarding the appointment of the selection committee. You don’t need tohave a traditional selection committee with four guys working under a chairand going out to have a look at the players. We can use our six provincialcoaches as eyes for the chief selector.
“Those coaches can be asked to write reports on the opposition team and letthe chair know if he has come across someone who needs to be kept on theradar”, he added further.
PCB is also mulling over sending top players to Australia and England aheadof the series to better prepare them for the series.
“We get caught short when we tour Australia. To address it we are sendingour batsmen earlier to Australia to prepare for the series. We are planning12 months ahead of our tours,” he said.
