Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has reportedly resigned from his position on the Pakistan Cricket Board’s selection committee, according to sources familiar with the development.
The reported resignation comes at a time of major changes within Pakistan’s Test setup. The PCB recently made several adjustments to the squad ahead of the third Test against England, releasing seven players along with two members of the coaching staff.
Sources claim that Misbah was not consulted about the addition of new players to the Test squad. The lack of discussion reportedly contributed to his decision to leave the selection committee.
Misbah became part of the selection committee in March, joining former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed. The two were brought into the setup as the PCB worked to strengthen its decision-making process around the national team.
The latest development follows further changes involving Sarfaraz, who was recently removed from his role as Test head coach after Pakistan struggled for results during the ongoing series against England.
The changes have added to the uncertainty surrounding Pakistan’s Test team as the PCB attempts to respond to disappointing performances and reshape the squad.
Misbah has previously held several important roles in Pakistan cricket, including captain and head coach, and his reported departure from the selection committee could attract significant attention from fans and cricket circles.
However, the PCB has not yet issued an official statement confirming that Misbah has resigned.
Until the board makes a formal announcement, details surrounding his reported decision and the circumstances leading to it remain based on sources.
The situation highlights the ongoing changes within Pakistan cricket management as selectors and coaching staff come under pressure to improve the national team’s performances.
Further clarification from the PCB is expected regarding Misbah’s position and the future structure of the selection committee.
