Pakistan Cricket news breaks out, former batter Haroon Rasheed has been appointed as Pakistan's chief selector. Najam Sethi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), told reporters in Lahore on Monday that Haroon will lead the new selection committee but the remaining members would be decided later.
Haroon Rasheed was also named to the 14-member cricket management committee to run the Pakistan Cricket Board. On December 22, the patron-in-chief of the board, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif decided that.
Haroon Rasheed made his test debut for Pakistan in 1977 against Australia in Sydney. He has represented Pakistan in 23 test matches & has scored 1277 runs, During those matches, he made 3 centuries & 5 half-centuries. 6 years later against India in Hyderabad, he played his last test match for the national side.
Haroon made his ODI debut for Pakistan in 1977 against England in Sialkot. He has played 12 matches & in which he has scored 166 runs. 5 years later Rasheed took his retirement against Australia in Lahore.
Rasheed had previously served as Pakistan's chief selector between 2015 and 2016. He will take over from Shahid Afridi. He served as the interim chief selector after the Sethi administration removed Mohammad Wasim from the position soon after taking charge last month.
Haroon has now resigned from the management committee as the board doesn't want any conflict of interest as he is now the chief selector of PCB.
Pakistan's Men Cricket team will play a 3-match T20 series against Afghanistan in March. Pakistan will also play a 5-match T20 & ODI series against New Zealand in April.
Salman Ali Agha likely to take over Pakistan's all-format captaincy
PCB poised for a major leadership change, with Salman Ali Agha likely to take over Pakistan's all-format captaincy. Explore the reasons behind and what's next for them.
The air around Pakistan Cricket is thick with anticipation. Unconfirmed but strong reports indicate that Pakistan Cricket Board (PSB) is set to make a major leadership change, with Salman Ali Agha likely to take over Pakistan's all-format captaincy.
This is not just a routine captaincy change; it's a strategic move by PCB that could fundamentally change the team's trajectory.
What does this decision truly signify for the Green Shirts? Find out.
The current captains: Where do they stand?

Pakistan's captaincy landscape is currently questionable, influenced by their recent performances.
1. Shan Masood (Test Captain)
Appointed in November 2023, Shan Masood's captaincy has been challenging. The team suffered a 3-0 whitewash in Australia (Dec 2023- Jan 2024) which placed his position under significant threat.
Additionally, they also lost 2-0 to Bangladesh (Aug-Sept 2024) which almost marked the end of his captaincy tenure.
2. Mohammad Rizwan (ODI Captain)
Named full-time ODI captain in 2024, Mohammad Rizwan's tenure is also under review. While he had initial success, his position came under threat after their early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, despite being the defending champions.
This include big losses to New Zealand and India in the tournament.
3. Salman Ali Agha (T20 Captain)
Appointed T20 captain in March 2025, Agha has been impressive. Under his brief leadership, the T20I side has reportedly shown "newfound intent" while batting.
He has impressed both the selection committee and PCB chairman.
PCB's decision to change:
The PCB's move towards an all-format captain, particularly Salman Ali Agha, signals a desire for greater stability, a unified vision, and a fresh approach after a period of mixed results and frequent leadership changes.
The performances under Masood and Rizwan, especially in critical series and tournaments, have undeniably shaped the board's apparent decision towards a new captaincy structure and implement a new era under a single leader.
PSL Players' Terror in Pakistan: Daryl Mitchell Vows Never to Return, Curran Breaks Down after reaching Dubai
New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell promised he will never go back to return after reaching Dubai from Pakistan. Sam Billings, Daryl Mitchell, Kushal Perera, David Wiese, and Tom Curran were all with him on the flight.
In a dramatic turn of events, overseas players in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) faced harrowing experiences due to escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan, leading to the indefinite postponement of the tournament.
The crisis, sparked by India’s strategic response to a terror attack in Palalgam on May 7, 2025, which claimed 26 civilian lives, left players like New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell vowing never to return to Pakistan and England’s Tom Curran in tears after a close call at the airport.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) initially planned to relocate the remaining PSL matches to the UAE after tensions escalated. However, the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) rejected the proposal, leaving the PCB with no choice but to cancel the tournament.
Overseas players were swiftly evacuated to Dubai via charter flights, from where they caught connecting flights to their home countries. Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain, part of the Lahore Qalandars squad, recounted the terrifying ordeal, revealing that the airport they departed from was struck by a missile just 20 minutes after their plane took off.
“After landing in Dubai, we heard that a missile struck the airport 20 minutes after we left. The news was scary and sorrowful, but we felt relieved to be safe in Dubai,” Rishad told Cricbuzz.
Rishad shared the palpable fear among foreign players, including Sam Billings, Daryl Mitchell, Kushal Perera, David Wiese, and Tom Curran.
“Landing in Dubai, Mitchell told me he would never go to Pakistan again, especially in this kind of scenario. They were all horrified,” Rishad said.
Recounting Tom Curran’s emotional breakdown, Rishad added, “Tom went to the airport, but heard it was closed. He started crying like a little child, and it took two or three people to console him.”
Rishad also spoke about the anxiety his family felt during the crisis. “Whenever I play, my family worries about the situation. When they heard about the bomb blasts and missile strikes in Pakistan, they were naturally tense. I tried to console them and assure them I was safe,” he said.
PCB’s Failed Attempt to Salvage the Tournament
According to Rishad, the PCB chairman attempted to convince players to continue the tournament in Karachi, downplaying the severity of the situation.
“The chairman tried to hide that there were two drone attacks the day before, which we later learned about. Almost all foreign players agreed that Dubai was the only safe option,” Rishad revealed.
The PCB eventually facilitated the players’ safe evacuation to Dubai, a move Rishad credited to the board’s efforts. “Thanks to the PCB chairman and the Pakistan Cricket Board, we reached Dubai safely by the grace of Almighty Allah,” he said.
RCB star batter Virat Kohli has passed Chris Gayle with the second most fifty plus scores in T20s. Let's take a look at the batters who have scored the most fifty plus scores in T20s.
RCB star batter Virat Kohli has passed Chris Gayle with the second most fifty plus scores in T20s. Kohli achieved this milestone during the IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. He came into the game tallying 110-fifties and struck another beautiful half-century with the bat-off just 32 balls, enabling his side to a grand start. Now at 111 fifty-plus scores, Kohli trails only David Warner, who scores a total of 117.
Let's take a look at the batters who have scored the most fifty plus scores in T20s.

The Universe Boss, Chris Gayle, is one of the prominent names to have scored the most 50+ scores in the shortest format of cricket. Arguably the first global superstar of this format, Gayle's explosive batting has made a splash in many T20 games over the years.

From taking Team India to the T20 World Cup for years to being the heartbeat of RCB, Kohli has always performed well. Now that he is in the twilight of his career, the world is eagerly waiting to see what magic is still left in Kohli.
David Warner tops the list of fifty plus scores in T20 cricket. He has 117 fifty plus scores in T20 cricket. Warner also scored most half centuries in T20 cricket, smashing 109 fifties. The explosive left-hander from Australia has been the epitome of consistency right from his early T20 days.
Warner is always hungry for runs, whether representing Australia or leading Sunrisers Hyderabad. He’s still going strong across various leagues, and we can expect him to add even more to this record.
Virat Kohli joins David Warner to become second player to complete century of half-centuries in T20s. Let's take a look at the batters with most gifties in T20 cricket.
Indian team's star batsman Virat Kohli scored a brilliant half-century in the match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. The former captain, who is in great form, became the first Indian to score 100 half-centuries in T20 cricket.
