The Pakistan Cricket Board PCB will hire full-time paid professionals as selectors after next year8217;s World Cup, chairman Nasim Ashraf has confirmed.

8220;Selectors will be full-time professionals. There is no politics to this at all. Cricket is also a business today and we need a corporate culture of good governance to run it,8221; Ashraf told reporters here yesterday.

Ashraf, however, praised the current selection committee which is led by chairman Wasim Bari and comprises honorary members.

8220;The selection team is doing a tremendous job at the moment. The Under-19 team has won two World Cups, the bench strength is also good and Pakistan have done well in the last two years. Until the World Cup, there will be no change at all,8221; he said.

The new PCB chief also said that on future foreign tours, a selector would accompany the team to help the captain and the coach make decisions regarding selection. 8220;I know it is the Australian way, but it makes sense to have one full-time selector on tour who can help make decisions on the spot.8221;
