According to sources, it has been decided to form a traditional selection committee again and it will consist of three to four members along with the chief selector. Former Test cricketer Mohammad Akram is a strong candidate for the new chief selector.
The selection committee will seek the opinion of the provincial coaches in the selection of the team and for the series against South Africa, the squad will be selected by a new selection committee.
