“He is our choice given his vast experience and the board has reached an agreement with Inzamam after the Afghanistan board agreed to release him,” said Shaharyar.
News of Inzamam’s appointment as chief selector was met with positivity in the cricket world. “We opted for Inzamam as we wanted to bring in someone who had played modern day cricket and who commanded total respect in the cricket circles,” Shaharyar added.
Inzamam is actually taking a pay-cut of Rs. 0.4 million, as he was earning Rs. 1.2 million as the head coach of the Afghanistan team and now he will be earning Rs. 0.8 million as the chief selector.
