Naveed Akram Cheema Tipped as New Team Manager Amidst PCB Overhaul

In a flurry of developments within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Naveed Akram Cheema emerges as the likely candidate for the role of Team Manager for the Pakistan Men’s National Cricket Team. This follows a series of substantial changes in both the team structure and the administrative hierarchy, reflecting the board’s active approach in reshaping the cricketing landscape.

Sources reveal that Cheema, having previously held the position of Team Manager, is poised to assume the role once again, marking a significant addition to the evolving dynamics of the team. The move aligns with the broader restructuring efforts initiated by the PCB over the past two days.

Former cricketer and current Team Director, Mohammad Hafeez, is playing a pivotal role in this transitional phase. Hafeez has reached out to national cricketers, engaging in discussions to identify suitable candidates to bolster the national cricketing body. This proactive approach underlines the board’s commitment to assembling a competent and effective support staff for the team.

Simultaneously, the PCB is on the lookout for individuals to constitute the selection committee, emphasizing the urgency in finalizing these appointments. The strategic overhaul is in response to the cascade of changes triggered on Wednesday, November 15, starting with Babar Azam’s resignation from captaincy across all formats after discussions with PCB Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf.

The subsequent appointments of Shan Masood as Test captain and Shaheen Afridi as T20I captain signify a fresh chapter in Pakistani cricket leadership. Shan Masood’s captaincy tenure is set until the culmination of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25, commencing with a challenging three-match Test series against Australia in December.

As the team undergoes this transformation, the PCB has also wielded the axe on the entire coaching staff, including Director Cricket Mickey Arthur. The press release outlines a reshuffling of coaching portfolios, with Umar Gul speculated to step into the shoes of the departed bowling coach Morne Morkel. The developments indicate a comprehensive restructuring strategy aimed at revitalizing Pakistan’s cricketing journey.
