Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif will be seen in a new role from now on as he has been appointed as a chief selector for the national team by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

 

“I am excited on getting associated with PCB. I will endeavor to build a strong team keeping in view the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. I will also assist PCB in whatever way I can in anti-corruption matters,” said Rashid who was quoted as saying by PCB’s official website.

 

“Rashid is an extremely valuable addition to our team. I have keenly followed his forthright views on cricket in the past and I trust he will be able to bring about positive change in our cricket,” said PCB chief Najam Sethi on Latif.

 

Rashid who will be appointed as chief selector from April 1 2014, met with Sethi on Wednesday and discussed the various technicalities of the job.
