Pakistan have lost both Tests against England and are trailing 2-0 in the three-match series. After the 194-run defeat at Lord’s, the PCB also made major changes to the squad and coaching setup, dropping seven players and removing the senior coaching staff before the third and final Test match in Birmingham.
Four released players, Ali Usman, Aamer Jamal, Khurram Shahzad, and Muhammad Awais Zafar, attended the event. The players had preferred not to attend amid the ongoing changes in the Pakistan setup. However, a fifth unnamed player refused to attend in protest against his treatment by the board.
Naqvi later described the meeting as positive and cordial. Such meetings are common when touring cricket teams visit England, with teams often invited to meet a member of the Royal Family or the Prime Minister.
PCB Makes Major Changes After Lord’s Defeat
Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Agha, Ali Usman, Aamer Jamal, Awais Zafar, and Khurram Shahzad were the seven players sent back. Awais Zafar and Aamer Jamal had not played in the first two Tests, while Usman had taken a five-wicket haul in the first Test at Headingley.
Pakistan Aim to Avoid 3-0 Series Defeat
England won the first Test at Headingley by an innings and 103 runs before securing a 194-run victory at Lord’s. The first Test finished inside three days, while the second went into a fourth day after rain disrupted play on Day 3.
Pakistan will play the third and final Test in Birmingham from September 9, with the visitors aiming to avoid a 3-0 series defeat.
The tour has also been surrounded by an off-field controversy. Pakistan had threatened not to return to the field after lunch on the first day at Lord’s if Sky Sports aired an interview with the sons of former PM Imran Khan. The interview was eventually broadcast, and Pakistan returned to the field after lunch.
