There is turmoil in Pakistan cricket. The team had to face defeat by an innings and 47 runs in the first match of the three-match Test series against England. After this shameful defeat, Pakistan Cricket Board has taken a big decision. Now a new selection committee has been announced for the Pakistan cricket team. The surprising thing is that an umpire has also been included in this selection committee.

PCB announced new selection committee

There is a wave of resignations going on in the Pakistan team from ODI World Cup 2023. Recently Mohammad Yusuf has decided to leave the selection committee. At that time PCB had not announced his replacement. In such a situation, after the shameful defeat against England, he has made many major changes in the selection committee. Now Aleem Dar, Aaqib Javed, Asad Shafiq, Azhar Ali and Hasan Cheema have been included in the new selection committee.

Asad Shafiq and Hasan Cheema were also included in the selection committee earlier. Now Aleem Dar, Aaqib Javed and Azhar Ali have got a place in this committee. Aleem Dar is a former ICC elite umpire. He umpired in international cricket for almost 19 years. At the same time, Aleem Dar had recently announced his retirement from domestic cricket also.

Became part of more than 400 matches

Aleem Dar played the role of umpire in a record 435 international men's matches. At the same time, during his umpiring career, Aleem Dar had won the David Shepherd Trophy three times. He was also the umpire in the finals of the 2007 and 2011 Cricket World Cup. Let us tell you, Aleem Dar has also played domestic cricket for Pakistan. Dar played 17 first class matches and 18 List A matches from 1986–98. After this he made his career in umpiring.

Pakistan cricket is going through a bad phase

The last few years have been very bad for Pakistan cricket. The team is continuously flopping in big tournaments. Now Pakistan team is not winning even in domestic matches. Pakistan has not won any test match at home for 1341 days. At the same time, it was also eliminated from the group stage in the 2023 ODI World Cup and 2024 T20 World Cup. In such a situation, continuous changes are being seen in Pakistan cricket, but there has been no change in their game.
