Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has officially been appointed as a member of the national selection committee, marking a new chapter in his cricketing journey. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the decision as part of its broader plan to bring more experience and fresh perspectives into the selection process.
Sarfaraz Ahmed, known for his leadership during Pakistan’s 2017 Champions Trophy triumph, will now play a key role in identifying and evaluating players for national duties. His appointment is seen as an effort to strengthen communication between players, domestic performers, and the selection panel.
According to PCB officials, the inclusion of former cricketers like Sarfaraz Ahmed aims to ensure fair and performance-based decisions. His deep understanding of modern cricket and first-hand experience with current players are expected to help the committee make more balanced choices.
Sarfaraz expressed his gratitude after the announcement, saying he was honored to serve Pakistan cricket in a new capacity. He emphasized that his focus would be on merit, fitness, and consistency. “Our goal is to pick players who can handle pressure and represent Pakistan with pride,” he said.
Fans have largely welcomed the move, praising PCB’s decision to involve individuals who have recently been part of the national setup. Many believe that Sarfaraz’s experience as captain and wicketkeeper will bring valuable insights into team balance and player mindset.
The new committee will soon begin its work by reviewing domestic performances and upcoming tours. Sarfaraz Ahmed’s involvement signals a continued commitment to Pakistan cricket — this time, not behind the stumps, but behind the decisions that shape the team’s future.
