"The CTC will have the powers to invite additional cricket experts, and shall report to the head of the PCB Management Committee on a regular basis."
The first job for the committee will be to decide the fate of the coaching staff with speculations taking place regarding the changes as a conclusion is expected to come by the end of the week.
