Details further suggested that Kirsten will witness every match of the Champions One-Day Cup as he is assigned to build a strong pool of players, who will go on to represent the national team in future including the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
During his visit to Pakistan, Kirsten will also attend a high-profile meeting and workshop to discuss the future of the national cricket team as well as all-format captaincy.
