In the Multan Test, Pakistan had to face a humiliating defeat by an innings and 47 runs against England. After this defeat, there was turmoil in the Pakistan Cricket Board. Now the Pakistan Cricket Board has included former Test cricketer Aaqib Javed, Azhar Ali, Test umpire Aleem Dar and analyst Hasan Cheema in the selection committee. However, only time will tell how much effect this change has. Recently Mohammad Yusuf had resigned from the panel. At the same time, now a big change has been made in the selection committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Now Aaqib Javed, Azhar Ali, Test umpire Aleem Dar have joined former player Asad Shafiq and team analyst Hasan Cheema, who will now have voting rights in the selection panel. However, it is not yet clear whether Pakistan’s head coach Gary Kirsten (white ball) and Jason Gillespie (red ball) will remain in the selection committee as voting members or not… Apart from this, who will be the chief selector of the new panel? Recently, Aleem Dar had announced that he will be seen umpiring for the last time in the current season.
Let us tell you that this is the first time that a reputed umpire has been included in the selection committee of Pakistan. The second Test between England and Pakistan will be played from October 15. The first task of the new selection committee will be to select the Pakistan team for the remaining two Test matches against England. At the same time, Pakistan had to face a shameful defeat in the first match of this Test series. Also, Pakistan has become the first team in Test history to lose the match by an innings after scoring more than 500 runs in its first innings.
