Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis, who was the advisor of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), left his position since his three-week time ended on August 19. On the same day, the Pakistan cricket team lost the first match against Bangladesh. This is first time in history where Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in a Test match.
A well trusted source in the Pakistan Cricket Board told PTI that Waqar’s initial appointment was as a consultant on cricket-related affairs for a small period of three weeks.
“The board has also advertised the post of advisor on cricket affairs and now candidates who have applied would be interviewed,” the source said.
The source informed that there is no clarity whether Waqar has reapplied for the role after PCB’s advertisement. “Apparently, Waqar has not responded to the ad,” the source added.
A few other sources shared that Waqar had asked PCB Chairman to allow him a short time in the role before deciding on him for a longer run.
