PTI, Karachi: Inzamam-ul-Haq, former Pakistan captain, who is set to be announced as the chairman of Pakistan cricket teams senior selection committee, took a hefty pay cut of four lakh rupees from existing monthly salary of 12 lakh that he drew from Afghanistan Cricket Board.
According to sources in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Inzamam reached a deal after he agreed to lower his monthly salary to eight lakh rupees from the 12 lakh he was getting from the Afghanistan board.
The PCB is set to announce his name as the new chief selector on Tuesday after he resigned as head coach of the Afghanistan cricket team.
PCB chairman Shahryar Khan confirmed that Inzamam would be the new chief selector and all issues surrounding his release from his contract with the Afghanistan Cricket Board had been resolved.
He is our choice given his vast experience and the board has reached an agreement with Inzamam after the Afghanistan board agreed to release him, Khan said.
Inzamam, a veteran of 120 Tests and 398 One-Day Internationals, came up as a surprise choice for the chief selectors position after other names including those of former Test players Mohsin Khan, Iqbal Qasim and Moin Khan were tipped for this position.
Shahryar said that Inzamam would be given the opportunity to select other members of his selection committee and he had also advised the board to include the captain and coach in the selection process in future.
