Shan Masood has been appointed Director of Cricket at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). It is a rather unique situation, with the country's current Test captain also being elevated to a position of authority within the board's administrative setup.

Sources in Pakistan cricket say the announcement was made by PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi during a dinner meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif who was visited on Friday by the Pakistan team as well as the touring members of the South African squad.

The PCB recently advertised for the position after Usman Wahla was suspended and displaced from the role for mishandling of the Handshakegate during the Asia Cup league fixture between India and Pakistan in Dubai last month.
