Pakistan Cricket Board has appointed former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq as the head of the new selection committee, which also includes former test off-spinner Tauseef Ahmed.
"We are happy that Inzamam has accepted to be the chief selector and we will give him full authority in selecting the teams," chairman PCB Shaharyar Khan said.
Former international fast bowler Wasim Haider and batsman Wajahatullah Wasti are the other members of the new selection committee.
"I want to thank ACB that they allowed me to do national duty," Inzamam said. "I worked for them for six months, I am thankful to their players and their cricket board officials for the cooperation."
"I have picked one spinner, one fast bowler and a batsman in my team (of selectors) to cover all the areas," Inzamam said. "I don't have a magic wand to improve the performance of the team, it will take some time and you have to be patient."
Inzamam said the coach and captains of all the three formats of the game — tests, one-day internationals and Twenty20s — will be consulted before he finalizes Pakistan squads.
"When I was the captain, I used to give my suggestion to the selectors. Similarly I will give importance to what captains and coach will have to say because they are the ones who ultimately matter," he said.
Mushtaq as nca head
Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday appointed former Test leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed as the new head coach of National Cricket Academy.
Mushtaq, who was until recently the bowling coach of the national team, has been tasked with the responsibility of running the NCA affairs.
PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan told reporters in lahore that the Board wanted to make the NCA a separate entity so that total focus would be on cricket and players. "We are also going to reorganize the cricket committee in the next week or so and we have decided to only have former Test players on the committee," Khan said.
