‘Maybe the toss should start the night before?’: Pietersen mocks Pakistan’s chaos
In response to their defeats in the first two Tests, Pakistan has enacted major squad changes, parting ways with seven players and two coaches. Kevin Pietersen, the former England cricketer, lightheartedly remarked that the captain could be in for a lengthy pre-match interview considering the shake-up. The team is determined to prevent a clean sweep in the upcoming clash.
Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has quipped about Pakistan's recent squad shake-up ahead of their third Test against England. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced a significant overhaul of the team following two losses in the series, releasing seven players and removing two coaching staff members. Pietersen, addressing the changes on social media, sarcastically suggested that the toss might even start the night before due to the lengthy pre-match interviews with the new captain, Babar Azam.
The Pakistan team now features younger players like Saim Ayub, Abdullah Fazal, and Arafat Minhas, replacing veteran players Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, and Sarfaraz Ahmed.
