Ayub was brought into the side for the third and final Test at Edgbaston after coming directly from the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026. But he failed to make any impact. England pacer Ollie Robinson dismissed Ayub in both innings, raising serious questions over PCB's selection call. Earlier, Rashid Latif takes fresh aim at Mike Hesson, raises concerns over IPL connection.
Nasser Hussain said during a post-day show on Sky Sports, "The truth is he shouldn't be here. He came from the CPL and hasn't played first-class cricket in some time. I don't know who thinks it's the right thing to fly someone over from foreign conditions, playing a completely different format, and think they're going to be fine in these conditions against a Dukes ball, against Ollie Robinson, and against England's bowling attack.”

The former England captain has further noted that facing a Duke's ball against Robinson and England’s attack without enough match practice was always going to be a huge challenge. Amid this, Razaullah names Waqar Younis as inspiration, opens up on 8 siblings.

The former England captain also recalled India’s experience with Virender Sehwag at the same ground. Sehwag was once flown into England without enough preparation and ended up scoring a pair. Hussain pointed out that Sehwag was far more experienced than Ayub, so Pakistan’s decision made it even more difficult to understand for him.
Hussain further shared, “Virender Sehwag tried it on this ground, if you remember... they flew him in. Virender Sehwag got a pair, and that's Virender Sehwag, who's a better, more experienced player than Saim. So, a bit of responsibility goes to the lad for the shot he played. But also, whoever thought that was a seriously good decision and that he was going to go okay this week?”
