According to the agenda for the hearing with the former and the present PCB officials on February 9 in Islamabad, the Senate committee has asked the Board to furnish the report of coach Intikhab Alam and manager Yawar Saeed.

Sources in the Board said besides the reports of the coach and manager, input was also taken from other sources before taking a decision.
"In the meeting held to discuss Malik's future, Director-General Javed Miandad and chief selector Abdul Qadir had opposed changing the captain and had advised Chairman Ejaz Butt to wait until the Test series against Sri Lanka was over," one source said.
The source added that Miandad had also confronted Alam on his role in the series loss to Sri Lanka and pointed out several tactical blunders in the second and third match.
