Former captain Misbah-ul-Haq has been appointed as Pakistan men’s national team head coach in all three formats on a three-year contract.

The Pakistan Cricket Board in a statement said, in line with the PCB’s commitment to ensure transparency, accountability and role clarity at all levels, Misbah was also named as the chairman of selectors with head coaches of the six first-class cricket association sides as his fellow selectors.

On the recommendation of Misbah, the PCB also named two-time former head coach and ICC Cricket Hall of Famer Waqar Younis as bowling coach of the national side on a three-year contract.

Both the national team appointments were also approved by the PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani.
