Wasim said that he is enjoying his role and wants to carry on building the progress the PCB has made over the past few years.
“I definitely want to carry on in the role as our work has just started. I’m enjoying my stay here and we have made progress. The first few months were difficult because of the different culture and the system in Pakistan but things are progressing now,” he said.
Wasim also talked about the appointment of new chief selector of the national team. He said that the new chief selector will be appointed by next week.
He said that the selection committee will be run on the same model and PCB is in talks with several candidates for the coveted role.
