Each Champions Cup team will have a 10-member staff, including a head coach, assistant coach, manager, and others. Pakistan is currently facing a shortage of spinners, and the PCB hopes that Saqlain Mushtaq will address this issue.
Waqar Younis recently stepped down from his role as Chairman’s advisor. According to sources, he prefers the mentor position over his previous role due to its flexibility and better compensation without strict office hours.
Similarly, Sarfaraz Ahmed will remain available for the national team and can be called upon if needed. Shoaib Malik has not officially retired and continues to play in leagues but will also be available to support his team during domestic events.
