KARACHI, (Reuters) – Former captain Moin Khan has been appointed as Pakistan’s chief selector replacing Iqbal Qasim, who resigned after the team’s dismal performance in the Champions Trophy, the country’s cricket board (PCB) said yesterday.
The 41-year-old Moin played 69 tests and 219 one-day internationals as a wicketkeeper-batsman for Pakistan during a 14-year career.
“Moin met with the PCB acting chairman Najam Sethi today and discussed in detail the role of the selectors and his vision for the future,” a board spokesperson told Reuters.
Qasim had resigned from his post after Pakistan lost all three of their group matches at last month’s Champions Trophy.
Qasim cited personal and health reasons for his decision to step down but was known to be unhappy with interference from the team management in selection affairs.
