The top officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board are set to meet over this weekend here to decide on the future of Test captain Shan Masood and head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed.
According to reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are considering massive changes following the team's recent 0-2 Test series loss to Bangladesh.
Pakistan's abysmal 2-0 whitewash in Bangladesh has left head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed fuming with anger at his players in a team meeting after the Sylhet defeat, a news report has claimed.
Mutual trust and clear communication with players is key for becoming a successful coach, Pakistan's new Test format head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed said on Wednesday.
Pakistan's national selectors have recalled 36-year-old pace bowler, Mohammad Abbas, and included four uncapped players in their squad for a two-match Test series in Bangladesh next month.
The PCB has announced the red-ball coaching staff for the Bangladesh tour, naming former Test captain Sarfaraz Ahmed as the team's head coach.
The PCB is set to continue with Shan Masood as captain of the Test side despite poor results, while former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed is expected to be appointed as head coach for the red-ball format.
Confusion reigns over the Pakistan Cricket Board's policy on its employees, including former skipper and selector Sarfaraz Ahmed and women's team mentor Wahab Riaz, working for franchises in the Pakistan Super League.
A source said that the formal announcement will now allow the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to appoint him as head coach of the national Test team on a long-term basis.
Aaqib Javed admitted that until Mike Hesson took charge in May last year, the selectors used to be involved even in the selection of playing XI for away and home series.
