Media reports suggest that PCB is likely to announce a new model under which the same person will hold the important posts of chief selector and head coach. Misbah-ul-Haq’s appointment as the camp commandant then suggests clearly that he is the favorite to take over the key positions.

Left-arm spinner Zafar Gohar has played under Misbah while the latter was still leading Islamabad United. Hence, his name in the camp comes down as no surprise and the 24 year old then might be in the scheme of things when Pakistan play Sri Lanka for a Test series next.
