Shahid Afridi questioned the timing and logic behind the move, calling it the “most shocking decision” by a selection committee packed with experienced members.
Pakistan have made wholesale changes to their squad ahead of the third and final Test against England, with seven players released and five uncapped players added to the group. The changes also extend to the coaching staff, with head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul removed from their respective roles after only two Tests in the series.
Pakistan have brought in Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Saad Baig, Mohammad Imran Randhawa and Razaullah, all of whom are yet to make their Test debuts. Saim Ayub and Abdullah Fazal have also been included, despite having only 10 international matches of experience between them.
The scale of the changes is particularly striking because Pakistan have made them midway through a Test series that has already been decided.
Not sure what is the logic or reasoning behind this decision - Shahid Afridi
“Not sure what is the logic or reasoning behind this decision!
“This is the most shocking decision ever by a selection committee which includes so many experienced selectors,” Shahid Afridi wrote on X.

“It's a shame that after 70 years, Pakistan has gone through such a disaster. There is no logic, selection committee, or play. They are just good for nothing. You see, such a bad performance. If a person loses, he tries and fights before losing. The fight has to be visible. Here, there's no fight. No one knows anything.
