Following a series of heavy defeats against England, the Pakistan Cricket Board has initiated a significant overhaul of the national team. Head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul have been recalled, with Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke set to take over for the final Test. This decision comes after Pakistan's disappointing performance in the first two Test matches.
In addition to coaching changes, seven players, including key figures like wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and opener Imam-ul-Haq, are being sent home. Several uncapped players have been called up as the board seeks to address the team's struggles and rebuild for future competitions. These drastic measures reflect the growing concerns over the team's current form and strategic direction.
