LAHORE:

After a disappointing Test home season that could limit Babar Azam's role in the team across formats, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering carrying out a comprehensive review of the management of the team.

Geo News sources claim that Najam Sethi's PCB management committee is dissatisfied with the current structure and is considering a complete overhaul following the conclusion of Pakistan Super League's eighth season in March.

Babar Azam's leadership in the red-ball format is being questioned as a result of Pakistan's three defeats in five Test matches and one victory.

According to the sources, Shan Masood's selection as vice-captain in the ODI series against New Zealand in place of Shadab Khan was part of the same long-term strategy. It is also possible to add different captains for the red- and white-ball formats.

They stated that Shan Masood and Sarfaraz Ahmed are under consideration for the captaincy of the Test team.

The PCB's current leadership wants to keep his skipper in any format, and a decision on this will be made after the PSL.

The board is considering hiring a foreign coach for the green shirts, so both bowling coach Shaun Tait and head coach Saqlain Mushtaq may not be retained after their contracts expire in February.
