In what comes as a major development ahead of the ODI World Cup, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed Inzamam Ul Haq as the Chairman of its Selection Committee. The former Pakistan cricketer who was there during the 2019 ODI World Cup has been given a second chance after Haroon Rasheed quit as PCB Chief Selector last month. 

The cricket board announced the development through a tweet on Monday (7 August). “Former Pakistan captain Inzamam ul Haq has been appointed national men’s chief selector,” tweeted PCB. While Mohammad Hafeez was also in contention for the role, PCB went with experience in Inzamam.
