According to media reports, Mr Hafeez had been offered the role of advisor, chief selector or the National Cricket Academy, adding that the all-rounder had expressed his willingness and asked for time to take a final decision. Meanwhile, Mohammad Hafeez has confirmed that he had received the offer. He said Mr Ashraf is respectable person for him, adding that he was ready to take cricket in the right direction in the true sense, but not at all eager to take up a job in the board.

In the first meeting with board members, the PCB said that his prime focus will be on the improvement of cricket and cricketers. He also emphasized on bringing transparency in the affairs of the cricket board. He provided reassurance to the members that grievances regarding the elections of the Regions and Associations will be redressed and he guaranteed transparent elections for the Regions and Associations.
