The Pakistan Cricket Board is moving toward the removal of chief selector Aaqib Javed as part of a wider administrative reorganization. This shift follows the team's series deficit against England, where Pakistan lost the opening match at Headingley by an innings and 103 runs and the subsequent test at Lord's by 194 runs. Following these results, the board sent seven players home, including Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, and Salman Ali Agha. The PCB has since issued formal notices to the selection and advisory committees, demanding an explanation regarding the selection criteria used for the England tour. While Aaqib Javed is expected to be directed to prioritize his role at the Lahore High Performance Centre, former captain Misbah-ul-Haq has already offered his resignation from the committee.
