The PCB has made shocking changes ahead of the third and final Test in Birmingham, starting September 9. Seven players and two coaches have been sent back from England, with Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, and Imam-ul-Haq among those removed from the squad.
White-ball coach Mike Hesson has taken charge for the third Test after Test coach Sarfaraz Ahmed was removed from his position. Pakistan will now have a completely different look as they try to avoid a 3-0 series defeat in England.
However, more questions were raised on the fourth day when Imam was seen knocking before the start of play. The incident created doubts around the seriousness of his injury and his involvement with the team at the Lord’s.
Nasser Hussain slams PCB, says they have made Pakistan a laughingstock
Reacting to the drama, Nasser Hussain has expressed his disappointment with the way PCB has handled the entire situation. He was really surprised that the officials openly discussed and criticized one of his own players.
Nasser Hussain said on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, “I don't think after Headingley that the world was laughing at Pakistan. My rant at Lord's about them not fighting back, about India vs Pakistan games being very one-sided, and about them being a poor side playing poorly wasn't laughing at them.”

The former England captain also questioned why Imam’s injury situation became such a public discussion. In normal circumstances, a touring team would get the player scanned, provide a medical update, and then decide whether he could continue.
Hussain further explained, “I cannot believe how a director of high performance can go on telly, rightly or wrongly, and throw a player under the bus. He is either injured or he is not. For every other touring side, if we ask how a player is doing, they would say, 'He has had a scan and will only bat if needed. 'The whole handling of the Iman situation is ridiculous. You have to protect your players a little bit.”
