Former Pakistan captain Azhar Ali once again in spotlight to get Test captaincy as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s governing committee will be chairing a review meeting on August 2 in Lahore.
The PCB is mulling over split captaincy, with Azhar Ali likely to be made as Test captain while Sarfaraz will lead the team in limited-overs cricket. Azhar was removed as Test captain soon after Pakistan won the Champions Trophy in 2017 under Sarfraz’s leadership.
The report further suggests that Babar Azam may also be appointed as deputy to Sarfraz and Azhar to be groomed for future.
Moreover, Dawn News citing its sources reported that initial deliberations over the appointment of the head coach, other members of coaching staff, new selection committee and captain had already begun.
The report further said that victories at the 2017 Champions Trophy and Pakistan’s attaining top ranking in T20Is under Arthur’s coaching are his plus points. And with World T20 nearing, Arthur will be the best man to head Pakistan.
