Karachi, Aug 21 - Former Pakistan Test pacer Aaqib Javed became the most high-profile casualty of the national team's disastrous tour of Sri Lanka when he was sacked Friday as assistant coach.

Aaqib, 37, will not be a part of the Pakistan squad for the Champions Trophy in South Africa and has been replaced by Mohtashim Rasheed, a Karachi-born first-class cricketer who has served as a fielding coach of the national team in the past. Mohtashim, 40, is the younger brother of Haroon Rasheed, a former Pakistan Test batsman, currently serving as PCB's Director of Game Development.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt announced that it has been decided to replace assistant manager Mohammad Ahmed with Shafqat Rana, a former Test cricketer.
