Pakistan Summons Home Coaches and 7 Players After Brutal Test Cricket Defeats in England
The Pakistan Cricket Board also named seven replacements, including two capped players, and brought in Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke for the final Test.
- On Monday, the Pakistan Cricket Board released 7 players and 2 coaches, including red-ball head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul, following a 194-run defeat to England at Lord's on Sunday.
- The loss at Lord's ended Pakistan's 16-year unbeaten run at the venue, giving England an unassailable 2-0 series lead as captain Babar Azam's team fell for 110 in their first innings.
- Released players include wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and Test opener Imam-ul-Haq, while white-ball coach Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke join the backroom staff with 7 replacements, 5 uncapped at Test level.
- Sources indicate Imam could be sent back to Pakistan amid a potential high-level inquiry into his calf injury, which critics have questioned following his absence during the second innings.
- Pakistan will regroup for the third and final Test at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham from September 9 to 13, where they face England in their bid to salvage the series.
