Pakistan cricket faces fresh questions over major shake-up

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s promised “surgery” following the team’s 2024 T20 World Cup defeat has yet to produce the desired recovery. The latest upheaval saw seven players recalled from England during a Test series, while head coach and bowling coach were dismissed and replacements sent to Britain. PCB officials Naqvi and Aaqib Javed defended the decisions, but their explanations raised further questions over selection, player confidence and institutional responsibility.
