PCB Chairman Promises Changes After Test Loss

Following Pakistan's shocking 10-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test in Rawalpindi, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has vowed to implement significant changes within the national cricket team. Former players, including Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Hafeez, criticized the team's strategy, particularly the decision to field four fast bowlers on a spin-friendly pitch. Naqvi acknowledged the need for a major overhaul, stating that 'changes are on the way' and promising that the status quo is unsustainable. Despite previous assurances of reforms after Pakistan's poor performances in the T20 World Cup, no immediate changes were made to the team lineup. The loss marks captain Shan Masood's fourth consecutive defeat since taking over, intensifying scrutiny of the team's performance. Naqvi's comments suggest that the PCB is preparing for a comprehensive overhaul to restore the team's competitiveness.
