The Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday appointed stalwarts Misbah-ul-Haq, Saqlain Mushtaq, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik and Waqar Younis as mentors of five teams participating in the domestic Champions Cup tournament.
Pakistan cricket’s biggest names have been appointed as mentors on three-year contracts following a transparent and robust recruitment process, the PCB said in a statement.
Waqar Younis recently worked as an advisor to the PCB on cricket matters, while Saqlain Mushtaq is a former head coach of the national team. Misbah and Waqar have also worked as coaches with the national team.
The PCB said the first assignment of the mentors in the 2024-25 PCB Domestic Cricket Season will be the one-day Champions Cup, which will be held in Faisalabad from September 12 to 29.
The PCB has made it mandatory for all top players to participate in the 50-overs competition.
