Shahid Afridi is the chief selector of PCB

Shahid Afridi’s cricket career can be said to be quite successful. This former all-rounder has also led the Pakistan cricket team for a long time. After an illustrious career, Afridi left twenty-two yards long ago. But did not move away from cricket at all. He will be seen again in Pakistan cricket. But in a different role. Afridi has been appointed as the chief selector by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

However, Afridi has been given the responsibility as an interim. Abdul Razzaq and Iftekhar Anjum are on the committee with him. Harun Rashid is also the convener. This new committee will be responsible for the New Zealand series. The new committee led by Afridi will select the team for the series against the Kiwis at home in January.

Meanwhile, PCB president Najam Shetty welcomed Afridi to the new position on the board. He is also hopeful that the new committee will do a good job. Najam said, “I welcome this interim selection committee. Undoubtedly, this committee will do well, I have faith. They will take effective and bold decisions. They will form a strong squad for the national team.”

About Afridi, Nazam said separately, “Afridi has always been an aggressive cricketer in his cricketing career. He has played fearless cricket in the 22 yards. He has 20 years of international cricket experience. He is a successful all-rounder in all formats. We are confident that he will select the best cricketers. People like him can bring success to the team.”

Meanwhile, Afridi is also very excited to get the big responsibility of the board. He also thanked the PCB president for giving him the post of the selector. At the same time, Afridi said, he feels honoured. This experienced former Pakistani cricketer has also promised to pour all his ability into the new responsibility.
