Pakistan Cricket Board Initiates Disciplinary Inquiry Amid England Test Tour Turmoil
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has launched an internal disciplinary inquiry following media reports about player discipline and conduct during the ongoing England Test series. This inquiry comes after Pakistan's heavy defeats in the first two Tests, which led to the recall of seven players, including Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq, and the removal of head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul. Reports suggest the PCB seized and reviewed mobile phone data of Rizwan and Imam, though the board has not officially confirmed this. The PCB emphasizes that the process follows standard procedures and urges reliance on official communications amid speculation.
