Pakistan Cricket Board Investigates Squad Amid England Tour Turmoil
· Sports · Times of India, Indian Express
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has launched an investigation into the conduct of its national cricket team during their ongoing tour of England. This follows the decision to send seven players home and replace them with seven new call-ups, including five uncapped Test players. The PCB also replaced Test coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul with white-ball coaches Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke. Players have reportedly surrendered their electronic devices to the board for the duration of the final Test match. The exact reasons for the investigation remain undisclosed by the PCB.
Why it matters
The sudden squad overhaul and device confiscation suggest internal disciplinary or integrity issues within the Pakistan team, impacting their performance in the current Test series.
