As per sources, Ashraf met with Hafeez, who retired in 2022, to give him a prominent position in the new system. The former cricketer-turned-analyst requested some time to consider the proposition.
Hafeez gave Ashraf his congratulations for taking over as PCB’s new leader at the meeting.
“Zaka Ashraf is a good administrator. I honestly respect him a lot. I will definitely consider a good offer to serve Pakistan cricket,” the former all-rounder said.
According to reports, incumbent chief selector Haroon Rashid may soon lose his position.
