Pakistan on Monday April 18,2016 appointed former captain and batting great
Inzamam-ul-Haq as their new chief selector, part of wholesale changes
following the team's disastrous exit from the World Twenty20 in India.
The 46-year-old resigned as Afghanistan coach on Sunday to take on his new job, arguably among the most thankless in the sport with the holder routinely turfed out following the team's failure in a high profile event.
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan told reporters: "Inzamam agreed to take over as chief selector and we are thankful to Afghanistan cricket board for releasing him," adding his tenure will be "until further orders".
Inzamam, who replaces former batsman Haroon Rasheed, said he will do his best to lift country's cricket.
"It was my long time wish to serve Pakistan cricket," said Inzamam who played 120 Tests and 378 one-day during an illustrious career for Pakistan. "I will try my best to be on the same page with captains and coach of the team for better results."
