PCB’s selection committee member Muhammad Ilyas Wednesday was named as replacement of chief selector Mohsin Khan who took over as interim coach of the team for Sri Lanka series. Mohsin replaced Waqar Younis who resigned from his position as the cricket team’s national coach. Mohsin was appointed interim coach for an upcoming tour only.
Waqar Younis had earlier announced that the recent Zimbabwe tour would be his last, citing personal and health reasons for relinquishing his post, which he has held since early last year. The vacancy created by his resignation was filled by chief selector Mohsin Hassan Khan, who has taken up the role of an interim coach for the national team.
As reported earlier, Ilyas was suspended by PCB in June this year, for alleged breach of conduct for criticising Shahid Afridi and appearing on a TV show with banned cricketer Salman Butt.
