Shahid Afridi
Cricinfo reported that the PCB was yet to accept his resignation.
Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has launched a scathing attack on the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to make wholesale changes to the Test squad and coaching staff midway through the England series, calling it the “most shocking decision ever” by a selection committee. Former captain Misbah-ul-Haq has offered his resignation from the national selection committee , according to Geo News and Cricinfo. Sources close to Misbah, quoted by Geo News, said he had informed the PCB of his decision and would serve a notice period before formally stepping down. Misbah was apparently not consulted over the sweeping changes despite being part of the selection committee, according to the report.
“Even the replacements make no sense – T20 players have been included for a Test match in England? The upheaval has also triggered uncertainty within the PCB’s selection structure. He has also reportedly decided to step down as a batting consultant at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.
Despite the chaos, Pakistan are scheduled to meet King Charles at Clarence House this week in an engagement planned before the series began.
