Former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur has harshly criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for making frequent changes to the team and coaching staff. This criticism follows Pakistan's recent defeat by England in a three-match Test series, leaving them trailing 2-0. The PCB announced on Monday that seven players would be sent home after their second consecutive loss, with the coaching team also facing changes as Test coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul were asked to leave England.
Mike Hesson will now take charge as the new white-ball coach for the final Test in Birmingham. Arthur questioned the PCB's approach, stating that the team's current situation is due to constant changes without stability. He emphasized that planning, stability, and structure are essential for consistent performance. Seven players were removed from the squad, including Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha, and several others.
Hesson's team will consist of new faces and experienced players, facing a challenging task to turn the series around.
