Inzamam, who also held the position from 2016 to 2019, begins his second term ahead of a crucial period for the Pakistan side. His first task will be the announcement of a squad for the three-ODI series against Afghanistan in Sri Lanka, which begins on August 22. It will be followed by the ODI Asia Cup. Those two squads will be announced by Inzamam at a press conference on August 10.

Inzamam, who named the squad for the 2019 World Cup as chief selector, will also be tasked with selecting the 2023 ODI World Cup squad. The tournament takes place in India from October 5 to November 19.

While the role in the cricket technical committee was unpaid, the chief selector will be remunerated. The PCB confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that a replacement for Inzamam in the technical committee would be announced in due course.
