LAHORE: Following another disappointing Test series defeat to Bangladesh last month, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appears set to make fresh changes to the national team’s setup, with key decisions expected by the end of this week. A crucial meeting is likely to be held at Gaddafi Stadium on Friday, where PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi will receive a detailed briefing from the team management, including captain Shan Masood, the coaching staff and high-performance director Aaqib Javed on Pakistan’s latest Test series loss. According to several reports, Shan is likely to be replaced as Test captain by T20 International skipper Salman Ali Agha.
