Misbah had earlier stepped down from the PCB Cricket Committee after expressing interest in applying for the role of the national cricket team’s head coach.

A five-member panel – comprising former captain Intikhab Alam, ex-international cricketer Bazid Khan, Board of Governors (BoG) member Asad Ali Khan, PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan and Director International Cricket Zakir Khan – had earlier interviewed the candidates.
