The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has completed the consultation process regarding the national men’s team’s white-ball squads for the New Zealand tour, scheduled to run from March 16 to April 5.
The sources further revealed that former pacer Aqib Javed is likely to remain the interim head coach as the cricket board could not start the recruitment process due to the lack of time.
However, former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf is likely to replace Shahid Aslam as the batting coach, while Azhar Mahmood and Muhammad Masroor are set to be retained as the bowling and fielding coaches respectively.
Pakistan’s white-ball captain Rizwan will lead the ODI squad, which is likely to undergo slight changes, the sources added.
Pakistan’s T20I squad, however, is expected to undergo a massive overhaul as the PCB plans to give youngsters and domestic performers a chance by resting the senior players including white-ball captain Rizwan, star batter Babar, vice-captain Salman Ali Agha and pacer Naseem Shah.
