Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is expected to remain as the national side's Test head coach for the upcoming tours of the West Indies and England, according to PCB officials.

A final decision on Shan Masood's future as Test captain has not yet been taken, with selectors weighing form, fitness and leadership balance ahead of a demanding red-ball schedule.

Sarfaraz, appointed earlier this year, is credited with stabilising the dressing room during a transitional period in the Test set-up.
