Pakistan's cricket board is considering the names of three players for captaincy to replace Sarfaraz Ahmed - after the team's early World Cup exit.
The Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) Cricket Committee is likely to forward recommendations to the chairman for handing over the reins of the One Day team's captaincy to anyone from Muhammad Hafeez, Imad Wasim and Babar Azam, after the meeting to take place at the National Cricket Academy, Lahore on August 2.
The PCB Cricket Committee will forward the meeting's outcome to the PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani.
The committee is chaired by PCB Managing Director Wasim Khan, and includes former men's and women's team captains: Wasim Akram, Misbah-ul-Haq and Urooj Mumtaz, as well as Zakir Khan (Director - International Cricket and Committee Secretary), Mudassar Nazar (Director - Academies) and Haroon Rashid (Director - Domestic Cricket).
The committee will also review the performance of the men's and the women's team, along with the performance of U16 and U19 teams, according to a PCB statement.
Outgoing PCB chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq, coach Mickey Arthur and captain Sarfaraz Ahmed have been invited to attend the meeting and provide their feedback and assessment of the men's team's performances.
Pakistan were knocked out in the group stage of the 2019 World Cup.
Sarfaraz's men finished fifth in the points table - at equal points (11) with New Zealand after the round-robin stage.
However, the Black Caps qualified as the fourth team for the semi-finals owing to better net run-rate.
