“Sohail’s name is top among the list of short-listed contenders. PCB’s managing director, Wasim Khan will make the decision on new appointments for the position of the chief selector and head coach,” a reliable source in the PCB said.
Sohail has in the past remained chief selector between 2002 and 2004.
He said it had been decided in principle to make the changes regardless of how the national team fared in the World Cup.
“Changes will be made as to when Ehsan Mani took over as Chairman and then brought in Wasim Khan as MD there was nothing they could do about the key positions since there was little time left before the World Cup. But both are not very happy with some of the decisions taken by Inzamam and Arthur as chief selector and head coach,” the source said.
He said it was yet to be decided if a foreigner will replace Arthur or the choice will be a local player.
Former captain Aamir Sohail is already being considered as the chief selector in place of Inzamam whose three-year contract will end in July.
