Following Pakistan’s heavy defeat to England in the Multan Test, the PCB overhauled its selection committee, appointing Aleem Dar and other former cricketers in an attempt to reinvigorate the faltering team ahead of future tests.
Pakistan cricket is still in chaos, and their predicament has worsened following a humiliating defeat to England in the Multan Test. This setback caused the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to restructure its selection committee. Only hours after the humiliating setback, the PCB announced the appointment of four new voting members, including former umpire Aleem Dar.
Pakistan’s form has been dismal, as this was their 11th consecutive home loss. With growing criticism of their performance, the PCB’s decision to restructure the selection committee was widely anticipated. The new committee members—Aleem Dar, Aqib Javed, Azhar Ali, and Hassan Cheema—were introduced within an hour after Pakistan’s innings and 47-run defeat in the Multan Test.
