"Shaharyar has offered Inzamam the chief selector's position and also agreed to some points raised by the former captain who is now head coach of the Afghanistan team," the official said.
The official added that Inzamam, who is presently being paid around $12,000 by the Afghanistan Cricket Board, was agreed to be given ‘considerable authority’ and a ‘suitable financial package’ by the PCB.
"He has also asked for time so that he can speak to the Afghanistan cricket officials and reach an amicable agreement with them as he does not want to leave them in acrimonious circumstances," the official said.

Inzamam has been able to produce some decent results for Afghanistan after he joined the team last year with former Indian pacer Manoj Prabhakar on his side.
Earlier, Inzamam and PCB were not able to cut out a deal due to authority and financial remuneration issues when the batting great applied for a coaching-cum-batting consultant role.
Former Pakistan head coach Waqar Younis on Friday also forwarded support to PCB's decision to appoint Inzamam as chief selector for the national team.
We may hire interim coach, says Shaharyar
In a series of tweets, the 44-year-old praised PCB for implementing his suggestions which he gave post 2015 World Cup. The PCB is on the hunt for a new head coach after Waqar Younis stepped down before his contract expires in May, after Pakistan's dismal performances in recent months.
Hearing Inzamam coming as chief selector. V good news. Glad PCB now listening to my 2015 recommendations. #BetterLateThanNever

Waqar stepped down from his post as the head coach on April 4, after Pakistan presented a dismal performance in the Asia Cup and the World T20.
