Misbah ul Haq, the national selector for the Pakistan cricket team, has come under scrutiny for his consultancy role with Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has a policy that restricts its employees from working with PSL franchises to avoid conflicts of interest. Misbah confirmed that he signed a contract with Peshawar Zalmi before taking up his position as national selector, allowing him to work with the franchise on specific days during the season. He emphasized that this involvement helps him assess young talent in the league, which is beneficial for his role in selecting the national team. In contrast, other selectors like Sarfaraz Ahmed and Wahab Riaz were barred from working with the Quetta Gladiators, raising questions about the PCB's consistency in enforcing its policies. Misbah stated that his situation is unique and suggested that the PCB could provide further clarification on the matter.
