Pakistan Cricket Board is continuously making many changes. So far, 7 players have been dropped from the team after losing the series against England. Apart from this, the head coach and fast bowling coach have also been dismissed. Now there is news that PCB can discharge Chief Selector Aaqib Javed. Earlier, Misbah ul Haq had resigned from the selection committee. But now it seems that another wicket is about to fall.
Chief selector may be on leave
On the England tour, Pakistan had to lose the first match by an innings and 103 runs. The second match was played at Lord’s and England defeated Pakistan one-sidedly by 194 runs and captured the series. After this, Pakistan Cricket Board dropped its 7 players from the team and sent 7 new players from Pakistan to England. Sarfaraz Ahmed, who was handling the role of head coach of Pakistan Test team during the England tour, and fast bowling coach Umar Gul were also dismissed.
Now according to sources, PCB is also going to remove Chief Selector Aaqib Javed. The PCB will ask him to focus on his role as development director at the Lahore-based High Performance Centre. Apart from this, the source also claimed that it was the PCB’s decision to send Imam ul Haq, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Aga from England to Pakistan. Apart from this, the remaining players were sent back on the recommendation of ODI and T-20 team head coach Mike Hesson. Hesson wanted to try some new players.
Selection committee may change after the series
Sources have claimed that PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi can change Pakistan’s selection committee after the England series. A new selection committee can be announced. Earlier, Mohsin Naqvi has defended the Pakistan team. He scolded former Pakistani players who were criticizing the Pakistan team. Naqvi had said that I am ready to take advice only from players like Wasim Akram. I don’t care what other players say. He also gave the example of India and said that Team India had to face defeat against Ireland. But this did not end his cricket overnight. Pakistan is doing well in ICC rankings.
