Pakistan's cricket board on Thursday appointed former leg-spinner Abdul Qadir as head of its selection committee, an official said. The 53-year-old takes over from former fast bowler Salim Jaffer, who was made head of an interim selection committee last month. "Qadir will be our new chief selector," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt told reporters, adding that other members of the selection committee will be announced shortly. Qadir's appointment is part of the PCB's drive to use the experience of former players to put Pakistan's team cricket back on track. The Board on Wednesday also appointed former captain Javed Miandad as its director general. Qadir said his priority will be to select the most deserving players.
