NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been advised by the sports ministry not to proceed with a long-term contract for Mohammad Hafeez, the current director of cricket. Hafeez assumed the role after the 50-over World Cup last year but faces uncertainty regarding an extended contract.
The PCB had submitted a long-term contract for Hafeez to the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination for approval, but the ministry recommended continuing with the short-term arrangement. The short-term contract is set to conclude after the T20 series in New Zealand.
