"They have assembled a new team. My friend Mohammad Hafeez has taken on the roles of director and head coach, so he will be overseeing things, which is fantastic," Vaughan remarked, shedding light on the leadership dynamics within the team.
Wahab Riaz, the Chairman of selectors, also caught Vaughan's attention.
The former England captain noted Riaz's continued participation in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and appreciated his dual role as selector and player. Vaughan particularly highlighted Riaz's captaincy experience in the PSL, underscoring the significance of his appointment.
"The Chairman of selectors is now Wahab Riaz, and I notice that he continues to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). What I appreciate about his appointment is that he was the captain in PSL, and Babar Azam, the one who was dismissed, held that position," Vaughan explained.
