The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is trying to reschedule a three- match ODI series against Australia at home in March to avoid a clash with the Pakistan Super League (PSL). A source said that the PCB was in talks with Cricket Australia (CA) to reschedule the ODI series. The series is part of a twin tour by Australia to Pakistan for a three-match T20 series from January 30 to February 5 to prepare for the T20 World Cup and they are then scheduled to return for the ODIs from March 13 to 19. The source said the PCB wants to reschedule the ODIs because it is most likely to organise the PSL between March and May next year.

"Wahab has already been working as a consultant in the PCB with various teams but has been given no new assignment as yet," a official said. The PCB had decided against extending the contract of former test batsman, Muhammad Wasim as head coach of the women's team last week. A well-informed source said that the PCB was in negotiations with two foreign coaches to work with the women's team but nothing had been finalised. "If things don't work out with the foreign coaches, the PCB will look at local options foremost among them is former women's team captain, Bismah Maroof," the source added. He said Wahab would only be asked
