Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif criticised current Test captain Babar Azam for failing to exhibit leadership following a major mid-series squad reshuffle in England. Pakistan suffered a heavy 194-run defeat to England in the second Test at Lord's, leading to the recall of seven players and the removal of head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul.
Latif labelled Babar as a "dummy captain" for not standing up for his team during the crisis.

Pakistan's batting woes have deepened, with four successive failures in the two Tests, and they have not scored 200 in any innings this series.
