which is in the best interest of Pakistan.
The COO said, "Whether it is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 but obviously we can have talks with him. Obviously we have until early October to finalise things after which the national
team has an hectic international schedule starting with the Sri Lankan series in the UAE."
PCB is going to form a committee, which is going to make the final verdict regarding the replacement of Waqar Younis and the board is looking for a long term option in order to create some consistency in the Green Shirts.
"The committee has to decide what is best for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket. Our team is in a transition phase and we need to have a long term arrangement," Subhan added.
