    Digital Desk: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a big step in determining which players will travel to the United States and the West Indies for the quadrennial T20 World Cup 2024. Following several unsatisfactory outcomes from the side, the decision was made.


    The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the dismissal of the national selection committee on Sunday, revealing plans to establish a new committee just months ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. The PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and former top selector Wahab Riaz met on Friday at the PCB headquarters in Lahore, and this decision was made as a result of their discussion.

    "The current selection committee has been dissolved," a statement from the PCB spokesperson read. "Announcement of the new selection committee is imminent."

    According to a statement issued by the PCB, Naqvi emphasized throughout the discussion the significance of choosing players based on merit. A thorough report on every player's performance in the just-finished Pakistan Super League was given by Riaz. 

    It continued, "Decisions on merit made by the new selection committee would be visible to everyone."



    The PCB has promised that a new selection committee will be constituted quickly and that it will have the explicit authority to decide on its own how best to improve the performance of the national team. Players will only be selected based on merit thanks to the forthcoming committee's transparent selection procedure.

    New Committee for Selection

    During a Monday night press conference in Karachi, Naqi declared his plan to revamp the selection committee.

    However, in my opinion, the selection committee needs to have sufficient authority to make these crucial choices. At that point, the coach, captain, and committee will share the glory and the responsibility. He continued, "They will be making decisions because they have an obligation to deliver results.

    Cricket fans in Pakistan should be ready for some interesting matches as the team prepares to play the hosts, the United States, in Dallas at the start of their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. Thereafter, they'll play a crucial match in New York versus arch-rivals India.

    In addition, the team will play league matches against Canada and Ireland. The tournament final is scheduled for June 29 in Bridgetown.
