PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi Ambushed By Reporters In London Amid Pakistan Cricket Drama | VIDEO

Pakistan's PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi was ambushed by reporters as he arrived at the High Commission in London, amidst a turbulent period for Pakistan cricket. Naqvi, also serving as an internal minister, attended an event with the playing squad, but was immediately confronted by the media. Despite their inquiries, Naqvi declined to answer any questions before departing.

The PCB chairman now finds himself in the spotlight due to recent changes in the cricket board. Following a loss at Lord's, seven players, including veteran cricketers Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha, and Mohammad Rizwan, were sent home. Coaching staff Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul were also replaced by Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke.

In response to the turmoil, PCB issued a show cause notice to its selection committee, demanding explanations for retaining Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan for the upcoming England and West Indies series. Former captain Misbah-ul-Haq has offered to resign amid the sweeping changes. Pakistan has bolstered their squad with five uncapped players, including Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Saad Baig, Mohammad Imran Randhawa, and Razaullah.

The new additions join the Test coaching staff, including white-ball head coach Mike Hesson and bowling coach Ashley Noffke, ahead of the third Test.
