Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) fact-finding committee has recommended the board to sack head coach Waqar Younis and T20I captain Shahid Afridi following the team's unsuccessful ICC World Twenty20, 2016 campaign in India.

Mohsin Khan, the former Test opener, who has served as the chief coach and chief selector of the national team, is the favorite to become Pakistan's next head coach.

A well-informed source in the board said that Mohsin has met with chairman Shahryar Khan and expressed his desire to work as chief coach of the national team after Waqar's exit.

Some years ago, Mohsin was chief selector, and was then appointed as interim coach. Under him Pakistan defeated England, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Test series.

Shahryar and his top aide Najam Sethi were also discussing the possibility of having a foreign coach for the national side, according to the source.

The fact-finding committee had finalized its report after going through the reports of manager Intikhab Alam and Waqar and also talking to Shahid Afridi.

The committee would also recommend that wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed be appointed as the new T20 captain and Afridi be sidelined even as a player, the source said.
