On the evening of August 31, it is reported that the Pakistan team management has released Agha from the Test squad; therefore, he will not be available for the remaining match of the series, which will be in Birmingham. As of now, there is no official statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). If the reports prove true, then the batting all-rounder will not travel to Birmingham for the third and final Test match of the ongoing tour.

Only a few days ago, Agha was leading the Pakistan National Cricket Team in the absence of Babar Azam. Babar missed the first match of the series, which was in Leeds, because of an injury in his hand. With or without Babar Azam in the team, the results did not go in favor of the touring team. In back-to-back matches, the Men in Green went down against the Three Lions without offering any significant resistance. Apart from a few individual brilliances, the away team batters did nothing fruitful against Josh Tongue, Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson.
