The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has continued to make matters worse for its team. As the Babar Azam -led side suffered two consecutive losses in the 3-match series against England, the board decided to sack 7 players from the roster while also replacing head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul . which starts on September 09, the departures have been announced While 7 new players are yet to be given their visas for the flight to the United Kingdom ahead of the third Test.
“This is not done in cricket. And so why have they done it? Obviously, they’re feeling the heat. But in any circumstances during the series, this has never happened. “I am really, really not happy with this situation.
Ramiz Raja , launching a scathing attack at the PCB, said that the board has created a ‘world record’ by announcing so many mass sackings in the middle of a series. “A lot of shock,” Raja said when asked about the mid-series changes. “So Pakistan have actually created a world record,” he said. “I still am trying to convince myself that this is all okay,” Raja said. “It just shows Pakistan cricket has hit a panic button and it’s not good for the game, not good for the confidence of the players who have left and not good for the confidence of the players who have come in.”
“And what is the guarantee that they will get the results also?
“It makes you a selfish team, it makes you an individualistic team,” Raja said. “I don’t know what will happen to the psyche of the team and the ex-cricketers,” Raja said. “Who would want a job with Pakistan cricket if they are not respected?”
