Former cricket captain and renowned Test player Azhar Ali is on the brink of assuming a pivotal role within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), according to insider reports. Anticipated responsibilities may include serving on the selection committee or contributing to the high-performance center.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is reportedly keen on harnessing Azhar’s extensive cricketing expertise for the benefit of the board. The 39-year-old batsman, who bid farewell to Test cricket in 2022, boasts an illustrious career, amassing a commendable 7,097 runs across 96 matches.

Azhar Ali’s cricketing legacy is further accentuated by his historic feat as the sole Pakistani batter to achieve a triple-century in a pink-ball Test match. His exceptional achievements on the field underscore his potential to bring invaluable insights and leadership to the PCB’s administrative landscape.

In addition to Azhar’s anticipated role, former team manager Rehan-ul-Haq is poised to make a comeback to the PCB under the chairmanship of Najam Sethi, signaling a strategic move aimed at bolstering the board’s operational framework with seasoned professionals.
