Former Check off-spinner, Tauseef Ahmed, is prone to assume the position of interim chief selector for the upcoming Australia Check sequence, taking up after Inzamam-ul-Haq’s latest resignation, which got here amidst accusations of a battle of curiosity.
The PCB is contemplating a short lived appointment to fill the vacant chief selector place, and Tauseef, a member of the choice committee, seems to be the front-runner for this position.
His non permanent tenure is anticipated to embody Pakistan’s three-match Check sequence in Australia, scheduled for December-January.
Inzamam’s determination to step down was prompted by allegations of his affiliation with a participant company based mostly within the UK, which subsequently led the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to provoke an inquiry.
A five-member investigation committee has been established to look into Inzamam’s reference to the aforementioned participant company. This committee is anticipated to current its findings to PCB Chairman Administration Committee, Zaka Ashraf, by November sixth.
“Any emergent state of affairs might [also arise during the ongoing ICC World Cup in India, regarding the players’ selection, plus the national Test team for the tour of Australia is to be selected after a short while. A responsible individual should be at the helm to monitor the situation in order to pick the best team for the Australia tour. Keeping this entire scenario in view, the PCB is likely to assign the duty [of chief selector] to Tauseef on non permanent foundation,” PCB sources stated.
“The committee investigating the allegations of battle of curiosity towards Inzamam couldn’t full its work. The committee’s report was to be submitted to the PCB chairman on Monday however neither the report could possibly be finalised nor the chairman was in Lahore on Monday,” sources additional added.
On the otherhand, Director Media PCB Aalia Rasheed is of the opinion that the board has not but accepted the resignation of Inzamam-ul-Haq.
Inzamam’s resignation was pointless when the committee for assessing conflicts of curiosity was established, as he might have continued in his position till the committee accomplished its report. Throughout this era, the duties of the chief selector might have been transferred to some other selector, corresponding to the previous Check cricketer Taseef Ahmed.
