Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has strongly criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following a major shake-up to the Test squad during the England series. The all-rounder questioned the logic behind the decision, which came in the wake of Pakistan's heavy defeats in the first two Tests. Afridi expressed shock at the changes, particularly the inclusion of T20 players in a Test match and the removal of the coach after just five Test matches.
The PCB's decision, according to Afridi, was the "most shocking ever" from a selection committee comprising experienced members. Pakistan lost the first Test by an innings and then suffered a 194-run defeat in the second Test at Lord's, leaving them trailing 0-2 in the series. With only one Test remaining, Afridi questioned why such drastic changes were necessary at this stage of the tour.
