Waqar Younis Considered for PCB Director Role

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, is considering appointing former captain Waqar Younis as the director of cricket affairs to manage cricket-related activities and decentralize management within the board. Younis, who has past experience as head and bowling coach for Pakistan, would oversee all aspects of men's cricket, including liaising with foreign coaches and selectors. Naqvi aims for specialists like Younis to handle cricket matters instead of purely administrative staff, reflecting a shift in governance similar to other national boards. An official announcement regarding this potential appointment is expected soon, alongside Naqvi's anticipated role as the new President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). This restructuring comes as Naqvi focuses on preparations for the Champions Trophy and other administrative duties.
