An endorsed
announcement of former renowned cricketer Inzamam-ul-Haq’s selection as Pakistan chief
selector is likely to be made on Monday.
Inzamam-ul-Haq is ready
to take vow as the country’s chief selector after he was released from his role
as Afghanistan’s head coach.
Inzamam Ul Haq directed
Afghanistan to the Super 10 stage of the recent World Twenty20 in India, during
which they defeated ultimate champions West Indies. He had a contract with the
Afghan board (ACB) until the end of the year.
Earlier, PCB decided
to employ Inzamam-ul-Haq as chief selector which came out to be a sudden move
as names of former players Iqbal Qasim, Mohsin Khan and Rashid Latif were also
taken under thought.
PCB chairman Shahayar
Khan had explained Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) chief Chief Shafiq Stanikzai
regarding the decision.
“Today Shaharyar Khan
called me and asked a favour to release Inzamam-ul-Haq as they are keen to hire
him,” Stanikzai said. “Although he was in contract with us until December this
year, we are patriotic people and if Pakistan needs Inzamam for their
own country, we are ready to release him. We are looking at the contract right
now with all the terms and conditions but we are not going to drag this and
rather finish this on good and high note.”
Inzamam
captained Pakistan in 31 Test matches among which 11 were won and
another 11 were lost while nine ended in draw. The player also led the national
team in 87 ODIs with 51 wins and 33 losses.
