In a significant development for Pakistan cricket, former captain Waqar Younis is on the verge of returning to the national setup as the Director of Cricket.
The news comes from reliable sources within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), who indicate that Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is keen on appointing a former player to oversee all cricket-related matters.
Naqvi is reportedly impressed by the model adopted by other cricket boards and believes that a former player with in-depth knowledge of the game is best suited to handle the complexities of modern-day cricket.
Waqar Younis, with his illustrious playing career and previous coaching experience, emerges as the frontrunner for the coveted role.
If appointed, Younis will be entrusted with the complete responsibility of managing Pakistan’s men’s cricket.
His duties will encompass liaising with the foreign head coaches, Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie, overseeing the national selectors, and guiding the domestic cricket structure.
The PCB chairman aims to decentralize power within the cricket department, allowing the Director of Cricket to take charge of crucial decisions.
This includes the authority to appoint other former players in support roles, creating a team of experts to drive Pakistan cricket forward.
Younis, currently residing in Australia, has previously served as Pakistan’s head coach and bowling coach. His vast experience and deep understanding of the game make him a strong contender for the role.
