The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially confirmed the appointment of former fast bowler Waqar Younis as the Advisor to the Chairman. This development marks a significant step in the PCB’s ongoing efforts to bolster its leadership and strategic operations.
On Monday, a press conference will be held where PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer will formally introduce Waqar Younis in his new role.
This event is anticipated to provide insights into the strategic direction the PCB intends to pursue with Waqar Younis’s expertise on board.
In the advisory capacity, Waqar Younis is expected to bring his extensive cricketing experience and strategic acumen to the PCB’s top management.
His role will involve offering strategic advice, providing insights on player development, and enhancing the overall performance framework of the national team.
This appointment aligns with the PCB’s vision of leveraging seasoned professionals to achieve excellence in cricket administration and operations.
The PCB had recently advertised the position of Advisor to the Chairman, with the deadline for applications set for August 19.
This advertisement indicated the PCB’s intent to open up the position to a competitive selection process, ensuring transparency and attracting top-tier candidates.
However, media reports about Waqar Younis’s appointment surfaced even before the official advertisement was released, suggesting that he was a frontrunner for the position.
