PCB plans major shake-up; Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez and Younis Khan in line for key roles: Reports

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning a major shake-up after Pakistan suffered a crushing Test series whitewash against England. The heavy defeats have led to changes in the playing group and coaching setup as the board looks to improve the team's performance.

As part of the proposed changes, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is considering bringing former Pakistan cricket stars into key roles. The move could see Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Hafeez and Younis Khan take up important responsibilities within the board.

The proposed overhaul aims to strengthen the PCB's guidance and decision-making structure. By involving experienced former cricketers, the board hopes to use their knowledge and experience to improve its cricket operations and give Pakistan cricket a fresh direction.
