PCB Poised to Reconsider Shan Masood Consultancy Offer

Sources attribute the rethink to the Test captain’s full playing schedule given the role’s wide operational scope.

Overview

  • Geo News, citing insiders, reports the Pakistan Cricket Board is likely to revisit or withdraw its offer to appoint Shan Masood as Consultant for International Cricket and Players' Affairs.
  • Masood received a verbal offer in October that the PCB publicly acknowledged via social media and a brief press release, with the press release since deleted.
  • The consultancy followed a vacancy created by Usman Wahla’s resignation from international cricket operations.
  • Insiders say Masood’s ongoing Test duties make it difficult to combine active captaincy with the time‑intensive consultancy.
  • Per the PCB’s advertisement, the role spans tour MoUs, ICC meeting preparation, logistics and budgets, and Future Tours Programme planning across senior and pathway teams.
