Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah are unlikely to be part of the plans as PCB is all set to overhaul
Pakistan National Cricket Team have come under massive pressure following their debacle in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Host nation of the tournament got eliminated within the first five days, and it was the first time that the hosts failed to win a single game in the tournament.
Pakistan National Cricket Team ended the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 without a single win. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side faced two back-to-back losses against New Zealand and India before their last league game against Bangladesh got washed out due to rain.
However, with the Pakistan National Cricket Team facing a lot of criticism, a report in Cricket Pakistan has suggested a massive thing. It is learned that the Men in Green is all set to undergo an overhaul in the white-ball Team, especially with some big players in the team.
The reports claimed that the likes of Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are all set to be excluded from the team. Their spots in the team are now questionable, and there are chances that he might not be picked for the next series that Pakistan plays.
Mohammad Rizwan also was unhappy with him not being involved in selection matters
It is learned that captain Mohammad Rizwan also was unhappy with him not being involved in selection matters. The reports claimed that he didn't want Faheem Ashraf in the team but selectors picked the all-rounder without consulting him.
There also have been several reports that claimed that PCB is all set to sack Aaqib Javed as the head coach. His contract as an interim coach ended on 27th February and it is learned that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) won't be renewing his contract and will be looking for a new coach.
