The chairman of the committee, which will meet on Thursday, Intikhab
Alam said that so far, the committee had not even decided on the method
for short listing or recommending the possible candidates.
"All the talk about foreign coaches and names being mentioned in the
media are mere speculation. The committee will meet for the first time
on Thursday and decide on a method to select the new coach," Alam said.
He said the committee would have no issues recommending a foreign coach either.
"The board has given us responsibility for shortlisting and
recommending a candidate for the coaching position and we will try to do
our best," he added.
Interestingly one of the committee members, former Test captain
Zaheer Abbas has made it clear he is interested in the position if the
board make him an offer.
"I am ready to serve the country. I have no issues with that but it
all depends on whether the PCB needs me. If the PCB believes I can
fulfill the responsibility of being coach I am available for the job,"
Zaheer said.
Former Test player Naushad Ali is the third member of the committee
while ex-captain Rameez Raja has been given the task of assisting the
committee and negotiating with foreign candidates for the position.
