“I will endeavour to build a strong team keeping in view the 2015 World Cup”

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has been appointed as the national team’s new chief selector.

Latif takes over from Azhar Khan, who was temporarily in charge of the selection panel after the government disintegrated the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) board of governors.

It is also understood that Latif was in contention of becoming the PCB’s new anti-corruption chief.

“I am excited on getting associated with PCB,” Latif said. “I will endeavour to build a strong team keeping in view the 2015 World Cup. I will also assist PCB in whatever way I can in anti-corruption matters.”
