Former Pakistan cricketer, Abdul Razzaq, has voiced his apprehensions regarding the current state of affairs within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). 

In an interview with a local media channel, Razzaq expressed his concerns over the frequent changes in PCB's leadership, stating that it disrupts the planning process and hinders decision-making.

"See, the current situation in PCB is quite unstable, sometimes one chairman is coming, sometimes another chairman is coming, and this disrupts the planning a little," Razzaq said.

"Now, with the recent change in PCB's chief, I understand that they are unable to make any decisions right now. However, I feel that Misbah-ul-Haq has a good chance of taking charge of the Pakistan team again," he added.

It is worth noting that former Pakistan captain, Misbah-ul-Haq, assumed the dual role in September 2019, where he took on the responsibilities of team selection and coaching. 

Following Pakistan's inability to secure a semi-final spot in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, under the guidance of Mickey Arthur, Misbah was appointed as the coach for a three-year term a few months later.

However, after Ramiz Raja became chairman of PCB in September 2021, Misbah decided to step down as head coach of the Men in Green.
