The board said Javed will be assigned additional responsibilities after the Champions Trophy.

Javed was roped in after Pakistan's white ball coach Gary Kirsten resigned before the tour of Australia due to some differences with the PCB.

Kirsten's exit led to PCB asking their red-ball coach Jason Gillespie to manage the affairs during their Australia tour on an interim basis.

The former Australian bowler was also approached for a regular run as the head coach but he turned down the offer.

Pakistan are set to tour Zimbabwe for three ODIs and as many T20Is from November 24 to December 5, followed by a trip to South Africa for three ODIs, three T20Is and two Tests.
