Misbah-ul-Haq resigns as Pakistan selector after Test squad upheaval
· Sports · ESPNCricinfo, Times of India, India Today
Misbah-ul-Haq has resigned as Pakistan's chief selector days after the PCB announced a major overhaul of the Test squad, dropping senior players including Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Sarfaraz Ahmed for the upcoming tour of Australia. Head coach and chief selector Misbah held both roles simultaneously, and the resignation comes amid reported friction with captain Azhar Ali and criticism of the squad selection process. The PCB has not yet named a permanent replacement, with the Australia tour set to begin in late November. The development deepens instability in Pakistan's red-ball setup ahead of a demanding two-Test series.
