A statement on the PCB website described Ahmed – who led the Quetta Gladiators to the final in Pakistan’s first-ever franchise-based T20 league in February – as a “natural choice” for the position.
“I spoke to Sarfraz this morning and conveyed to him that he was our natural choice for this position. His appointment is open-ended. I wish him good luck in his new role,” it quoted PCB chairman Sheheryar Khan as saying.
