PCB to investigate conduct and discipline of Pakistan players in England

At this stage, there is no information about who the investigation is specifically targeted against, or any timeline for its completion

Pakistan's cricket board has launched a disciplinary investigation following reports of misconduct involving the team's recent tour of England, according to a statement released on Monday. The probe comes amid the ongoing three-match Test series, which saw Pakistan lose the first two Tests. The PCB, acting in accordance with established procedures, is currently reviewing the allegations, which were reported by hostile external sources.

Last week, the Pakistan Cricket Board removed seven players from the team and replaced head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed with New Zealander Mike Hesson. The board maintains that it will not comment further on the matter and urges stakeholders and the public to rely on official PCB communications.
