PCB names Aleem Dar, Aaqib Javed, Azhar Ali in revamped selection panel
Hours after that debacle, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to reconstruct the selection committee.
West Indies successfully chased a target of more than 300 for the first time when Jason Mohammed hit an undefeated 91 in a thrilling four-wicket win over Pakistan in the opening ODI.
Set 309 to win, West Indies reached the target with one over to spare in the first of a three-game series at the National Stadium in Guyana on Friday.
Mohammed's runs included three sixes and 11 fours and he shared a key, unbeaten stand of 50 for the seventh wicket with Ashley Nurse (34 off 15 balls). Kieran Powell hit 61.

Pakistan had made 308-5 with 36-year-old Mohammad Hafeez top-scoring with 88 and Shoaib Malik (53) and Ahmed Shehzad also contributing half-centuries (67).
West Indies are seeking a clean sweep of the series to move ahead of Pakistan at number eight in the international rankings.
By the cut-off date of September 30 this year, the top eight teams, including hosts England, will automatically qualify for the 2019 World Cup.
