Karachi: Pakistan’s most successful Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq has been appointed as an advisor to Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee Zaka Ashraf.
Misbah’s appointment is an honorary role and the former Pakistan captain will not be remunerated for his services.
Sources say Ashraf offered Misbah a full-time role on the board, but he declined. However, the PCB chief convinced him to head the cricket and technical committees.
This development took place during Misbah’s meeting with Ashraf on Monday.
Speaking to reporters later, Ashraf said that Misbah will advise him on all matters related to the board and will represent the PCB in International Cricket Council (ICC) meetings.
Ashraf added that I will soon take important decisions related to PCB.
The PCB chief said he would run the board in consultation with Misbah, and the new national selection committee would also be formed after his input.
Replacing Mickey Arthur as head coach, the former captain served as Pakistan’s coach and chief selector in September 2019.
Misbah played under Arthur when he captained the Test team for a year, during which Pakistan became the world’s top-ranked team.
