Shan Masood, the captain of Pakistan's Test team, has had his category in the central contract list upgraded from D to B by the PCB. The choice was made in accordance with board policy, which states that a centrally contracted player's contract will be upgraded to category B for the duration of their captaincy if they are appointed captain and fall outside of the A or B categories. On November 15, 2023, Shan, 34, was appointed Test captain, a position he held until the end of the 2023–25 cycle of the ICC World Test Championship.
