Azhar Ali would certainly play a major part in PCB

Test cricketer and former captain Azhar Ali is expected to be promoted to a key role by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

The reports state that Azhar, 39, is anticipated to take on the role of the cricket body’s high-performance center or selection committee.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the PCB, supports utilizing the former cricket player’s experience.

After participating in his final series against England, the batsman declared his retirement from Test cricket in 2022.

The 37-year-old got his Test debut in just his second match after making his debut in England against Australia at Lord’s in 2010.

On 19 occasions, he scored more than 100 runs and added 34 more half-centuries to his total.

One of the nation’s most productive hitters, Azhar amassed 7,097 runs at an average of 42.49 in 96 games.

Azhar’s accomplishments include being the only hitter from Pakistan to score three centuries in a pink-ball Test. In 2016, he had accomplished the feat in Dubai when playing the West Indies. In Test cricket, the undefeated 302 is still his best score.

Between 2016 and 2020, Azhar captained Pakistan for nine Test matches throughout two different stints.

A year after aiding Pakistan in winning the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, the batsman had already announced his retirement from One-Day Internationals in 2018.

I think Rehan-ul-Haq will end up managing a team.
According to the reports, Rehan-ul-Haq, the previous team manager, is also anticipated to retake the role.

Najam Sethi, the chairman, named Rehan-ul-Haq as the team manager.

The sources declared, “Rehan-ul-Haq will soon take over his duties in the Pakistan team.”
