Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi slammed critics of the national cricket team following losses in the first two Tests against England. Speaking to media in London, Naqvi defended the team's overall record, stating that ODI rankings have improved from eighth to fifth and that Pakistan has won four out of six recent ODI series. He dismissed the naysayers as people who have never achieved anything in their lives while acknowledging that selection mistakes do happen. The criticism comes amid a team overhaul that saw seven players and two coaches sent home mid-series and senior selector Misbah-ul-Haq resign in protest. Director of high performance Aaqib Javed defended the board's squad changes, stating that match-by-match combinations necessitated the alterations.
