Pakistan cricket is undergoing a lot of changes since the World Cup debacle. The team is scheduled to tour Australia next month for a three-match Test series and on Monday (November 20), the newly appointed chief selector Wahab Riaz announced the 18-member squad for the same.
Pakistan's Test tour of Australia will feature three Test matches and will see Shan Masood lead the side. Masood was recently appointed captain of the Test team after Babar Azam decided to relinquish captaincy.
Former left-arm pacer Wahab Riaz has been selected to head the national men’s selection committee after Inzamam-ul-Haq's departure. Pakistan Cricket Board continues to overhaul roles with Mohammad Hafeez becoming an interim head coach for the men's senior team.
Pakistan failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup semifinals for the third straight time. The Babar Azam-led side had to contend with the fifth position on the points table following the conclusion of the round-robin stage.
“These players have served us at the highest stage and have a treasure of experience under their belts. We hope to utilise their expertise to help ensure our players are developed well in all aspects of the game," Zaka Ashraf told reporters after Pakistan's defeat against Afghanistan on Monday.
Pakistan began their World Cup campaign on a high with wins over Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. But they lost their following matches against big teams like India and Australia. They are somewhat in a must-win situation now and the latest controversy is not helping even though PCB has denied it.
Najam Sethi-led management committee released a 25-player central contracts list but the newly elected chairman Zaka Ashraf decided to review the list and added five new players with some big shuffles. Former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was promoted to category B after the review on Friday.
The former Pakistani cricketer highlighted various topics related to Pakistan cricket and ICC World Cup 2023 with his latest Tweet. His comments came after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lodged a formal protest with the ICC over delays in visas for Pakistani journalists in World Cup 2023.
Pakistan have so far played three matches in World Cup 2023 and won two matches, against Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. They lost to arch-rivals India by seven wickets last Sunday in Ahmedabad. They are next scheduled to face Australia in Bangalore on October 20 (Friday).
The PCB on Saturday wrote to the ICC to expedite the visa process for journalists and fans who want to travel to India for the Cricket World Cup.
"The reception held at the airport in Hyderabad was proof of this devotion. Zaka Ashraf personally commended the Indians for planning such a celebration," PCB statement said ahead of the team's World Cup warm-up game against New Zealand on Friday.
“It is by far a historic deal. I am extremely happy and satisfied that we have reached an agreement with the PCB," Babar Azam revealed after new deals announced by PCB on Wednesday.

Mohammad Hafeez was named to PCB's Technical Committee along with Misbah-ul-Haq and Inzamam-ul-Haq in early August. Hafeez stepped down from the committee after the conclusion of the Asia Cup 2023 and before the ICC World Cup 2023.
