Mickey Arthur Criticizes PCB's Frequent Changes Amid Pakistan's England Test Series Losses
Former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for frequent changes to players, coaches, and selectors amid Pakistan's heavy losses in their Test series against England. Arthur described the PCB's approach as "absolutely ridiculous," emphasizing the need for planning, stability, and structure to improve performance. Following defeats, the PCB released seven players and replaced head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and assistant Umar Gul with Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke ahead of the final Test. The impact of these changes on Pakistan's results remains uncertain.
