Pakistan chaos: PCB seeks answers over Rizwan, Imam picks as Misbah quits committee
Pakistan Cricket Board seeks explanation from its selection committee. The board questioned the rationale behind including Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq. This action follows the team's poor performance in the ongoing England Test series. Several players and coaching staff have been released and replaced amid this overhaul. Misbah-ul-Haq is reportedly set to resign from the selection committee.
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.
