Pakistan Overhauls Test Squad and Coaching Staff After England Defeats
Following heavy defeats to England in the first two Tests, Pakistan has made significant changes ahead of the third Test at Edgbaston. The Pakistan Cricket Board released seven players, including Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq, citing performance and injury concerns. Seven replacements, including Saim Ayub and Abdullah Fazal, have been called up. Additionally, head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul were replaced by Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke. These moves aim to address Pakistan's batting struggles and improve results in the ongoing series.
