**KARACHI, PAKISTAN:** The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a major shake-up in the national selection committee following a string of disappointing performances by the team. The move comes in the wake of a historic defeat to England in the recent Test series, adding to a string of losses that have left the nation’s cricket fans disheartened.
The new selection committee includes four new members, with veteran umpire Aleem Dar heading the panel. Dar, who retired from international umpiring recently after a 20-year career, officiated 448 matches during his illustrious career, including three wins of the prestigious David Shepherd Trophy awarded to the ICC Umpire of the Year.
This latest shake-up follows a period of intense pressure on the PCB. The team’s recent performance has been marred by a series of embarrassing defeats. Their disastrous performance at the T20 World Cup, including a shocking loss to the United States, led to their elimination in the first round. Further humiliation followed in the Test series against Bangladesh, sparking widespread criticism. Reports suggest that the team has been struggling with internal discord following their latest defeat to England.
The new selection committee faces a monumental task of rebuilding the team’s confidence and restoring its glory. The PCB hopes that this restructuring will mark a turning point for Pakistani cricket, and bring back the nation’s former glory.
