Mass changes in Pakistan cricket: coaches sacked, uncapped players added

The PCB’s reaction to the 194‑run loss in London included the termination of head coach Sarfaraz Khan and bowling coach Umar Gul. Seven members of the playing XI – Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul‑Haq, Salman Aga, Ali Usman, Amir Jamal, Awais Zafar and Khurram Shahzad – were dropped. To rebuild, the board introduced five uncapped talents: Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Iqbal Jr, Saad Beg, Mohammad Iqbal Rindhawa and Rajullah, and added capped players Sam Ayub and Abdullah Fazal. White‑ball head coach Mike Hesson and Ashlee Nofke will now oversee the dressing‑room staff, replacing the dismissed red‑ball coaches.
