Aleem Dar has officially stepped down from his position as a member of the selection committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and has submitted his resignation to the relevant authorities. His decision comes in the aftermath of Pakistan’s failure to qualify for the semifinals of the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup, which led to significant discussions and evaluations within the cricket management structure. Aleem Dar had been appointed to the selection committee on October 11, 2024, bringing his vast experience and expertise to the team responsible for player selection and team strategy.
During his tenure, Dar played a role in contributing to selection discussions and decision-making processes aimed at strengthening Pakistan’s cricket performance. However, following the team’s disappointing World Cup campaign, structural changes have taken place, leading to his departure from the committee. His resignation marks a notable development within Pakistan cricket administration, especially considering his long-standing reputation as one of the most respected figures in international cricket.
After Aleem Dar’s resignation, the selection committee continues to function with Aaqib Javed and Asad Shafiq as remaining members. Both individuals will continue their responsibilities in shaping team selection and evaluating player performance for upcoming assignments. Additionally, data analyst Usman Hashmi remains part of the setup to support the committee with performance data and analytical insights. However, he does not hold voting rights and serves strictly in an advisory and analytical capacity, assisting selectors with detailed performance assessments.
Overall, Aleem Dar’s resignation represents a significant change within the PCB selection framework as the board looks to restructure and improve team performance moving forward.
