Mohsin Khan to be named head selector by PCB

Ex-coach Mohsin Khan is likely to be appointed as the chief selector with the PCB next week as a five-member panel appointed by the board have interviewed prospective candidates for the team management positions and will finalize by next week, according to the PTI soucres. Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis are favourites to be named head coach and bowling coach respectively.

“They will now have deliberations on finalizing their recommendations and it appears as if Misbah is a favourite to be named head coach with Waqar as the bowling coach,” the source was quoted by Scroll.in.

“Mohsin who has remained a chief selector and interim head coach in the past was invited by the board to give an interview to the panel which indicates he will be given some major responsibility next week.

“The fact that Mohsin was called all the way to Lahore and the fact that he stepped down from the cricket committee after an understanding with the board means he will get some responsibility."

Further on he confirmed that former captain Rashid Latif had been offered the role of chief selector but he turned it down after a mutual disagreement over his pay package. Also, former-captain Misbah has declared to the board that his remuneration should be better than the ones given to foreign coaches in the past.

“I don’t think Misbah would have applied if he had not reached an understanding over his terms and conditions for the job with the board,” added the source.
