The search for Pakistan’s new Chief Selector has hit a roadblock as prominent former cricketers express reservations about taking on the crucial role. After Haroon Rasheed’s departure, the new management committee led by Zaka Asharaf has been actively looking for a suitable candidate to fill the position.
Former Pakistan captain, Mohammad Hafeez, has shown no interest in the role and has expressed his desire to contribute to cricket at the grassroots level. He wants to focus on nurturing young talent and developing cricket from the ground up.
Similarly, Rashid Latif, another prominent former cricketer, has declined any position in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) due to prior engagements and commitments.
The name of former Pakistan wicket-keeper, Moin Khan, was suggested as a potential candidate for Chief Selector, but sources reveal that he is hesitant to be associated with cricket affairs. Moin is concerned about his son Azam Khan’s career and worries that his performance may be unfairly scrutinized if he takes on the position.
With the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 and World Cup 2023, finding the right Chief Selector has become crucial for Pakistan cricket. However, some former cricketers are wary of accepting the role, fearing that they may face criticism if the team’s performance does not meet expectations.

The authorities are now seeking a star cricketer with a strong understanding of modern cricket to fill the important position of Chief Selector. Former Pakistan captain, Misbah-ul-Haq, is being considered for this role.
However, the decision-making process has been delayed due to Zaka Ashraf’s departure to South Africa for ICC meetings. It is expected that he will meet with some former star cricketers in the next few days to discuss the position and gauge their interest and availability before a final decision is made.
As Pakistan gears up for two major tournaments, the selection of the Chief Selector is a critical step in shaping the team’s future and achieving success on the international stage.
