Tony Hemming has been appointed the new head curator on a two-year contract, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced today. The Western Australian will arrive in Lahore on Wednesday to commence his duties.

One of Hemming's initial tasks will be to prepare pitches for the upcoming five ICC World Test Championship matches against Bangladesh (two in August/September) and England (three in October).

Additionally, Hemming will oversee pitch preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which Pakistan will host from 19 February to 9 March.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) recently parted ways with the renowned Australian curator, as he chose to resign before completing his two-year term.

Hemming expressed his frustration and disappointment, citing a lack of support from the board during his tenure, despite arriving in the country with high hopes and dreams.
