The Pakistan team performed poorly in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the team did not even reach the Super 8. In such a situation, someone was to blame. In such a situation, the Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to use scissors on the committee of selectors. There is currently a seven-member committee, with no chairman, which could be shortened. Apart from this, other changes may be made in the selection process by the board.
The PCB started an experiment three months ago, in which players are being selected based on voting by a seven-member committee. The board is going to end this experiment. The reason behind this is that Wahab Riaz was first made the chairman of the committee of selectors, but was later stripped of the chairmanship when the voting experiment began, but he was retained in the committee.
At the same time, when the team performed poorly, Wahab Riaz faced criticism because he was, in a way, its leader. Wahab asked PCB officials to resolve it. However, on the contrary, PCB is going to cut off their own legs. It is possible that he may be dropped from this selection committee. According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, a thorough review will be conducted to identify the shortcomings of the team with a focus on streamlining the selection process.
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi aims to show that no one is immune from consequences. Despite this turmoil, an immediate decision on Babar Azam’s captaincy is not expected, as Pakistan’s next white-ball match is not until November and Babar Azam is the captain of the white-ball team. Head coach Gary Kirsten’s input will be important in the review process. Kirsten was named head coach in April. World Cup After this he also raised questions on the team.
