The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has called key meetings this week to deliberate on a sweeping overhaul of the national team’s management structure, with major announcements expected in the coming days.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi will chair the sessions on Friday and Saturday, sources said.

The board has not released a formal agenda, but media reports indicate discussions will cover the Test captaincy, coaching staff, and broader structural reforms.

Among the changes under consideration, former captain Younis Khan is reportedly a leading candidate for the role of Test team head coach. He may also be inducted into the national selection committee.

Former captain Mohammad Hafeez is being considered for the position of Director of International Cricket, with possible inclusion in the selection panel as well.

Reports suggest current Test captain Shan Masood and head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed could be relieved of their duties.

Salman Ali Agha is said to be the frontrunner to succeed Masood as Test captain.

Sarfaraz, according to reports, is likely to remain associated with Pakistan cricket in some capacity, potentially with Pakistan Shaheens.
