“Haroon will get time to make his team and work for the betterment of Pakistan,” the top official of the board said.
The PCB reportedly wanted Afridi to continue as the chief selector, however, the former all-rounder reportedly refused a permanent role citing personal commitments.
While looking forward, Sethi thinks Rasheed is the right man for the job. “I have worked with him. He is a competent individual, and I have given him a free hand to make his team and take decisions,” the management committee’s chairman further said.
Rasheed previously served as the national men’s team chief selector from 2015 to 2016 and manager of the national team from 2003 to 2005.
