Waqar Younis’ sint as PCB’s cricket supremo lasted less than a month  •  PSL
Less than a month after becoming the advisor to the PCB chairman on cricket affairs, Waqar Younis‘ stint has ended. The former fast bowler and coach has now been recruited as a mentor for one of the five sides in the new domestic competitions the PCB is introducing this season.
Waqar was slated to become the board’s cricket supremo, a role created to take the burden of cricketing decisions away from the PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi. He even appeared alongside Naqvi at a press conference in that role, an unveiling of sorts, at Gaddafi Stadium at the time.
The PCB hasn’t given a reason for why Waqar is no longer in that role and why he is now a mentor instead, which is a three-year contract and was, in the PCB’s words, the result of a “transparent and robust recruitment process”. It has been suggested that both parties thought Waqar might be better suited to a team-building role such as this, with more active involvement in the development of a side.
The role for the advisor to the chairman is still being advertised for.
