imageOn Monday, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been appointed former Test cricketer Inzamam ul Haq as the chief selector of the Pakistan team.

“I am happy to serve Pakistan cricket in any capacity,” said Inzamam while talking to the media. “I am thankful to the PCB for offering me this post. I will try my best to do justice with my job. I also want to thank the Afghanistan Cricket Board for allowing me to take on the national duty as the chief selector. I will also like to thank the Afghan players for cooperating with me during my six-month tenure as the head coach.”

Inzamam then requested everyone to not expect result overnight. “We will have to stay calm for a while and not quick results. I hope people will see results in the near-future,” he said.

He also hoped that he will be allowed to work independently without any external pressure as the chief selector of the Pakistan team

He added further, “I requested the PCB to allow me to select my own panel. I have shortlisted three members of the committee which include a spinner, a fast-bowler and a batsman: the names are Tauseef Ahmed, Wasim Haider and Wajahatullah Wasti.”

Finally, former star Inzamam expressed that he has accepted the designation as a national responsibility.
