Tanveer Ahmed has publicly criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board's selection committee, led by Misbah-ul-Haq, following Pakistan's innings-and-103-run defeat to England at Headingley. The loss, which concluded before tea on the third day, highlighted significant issues in Pakistan's performance, with their batting collapsing for just 135 runs in the second innings. Pakistan's struggles have been evident throughout 2023, managing only five Test wins, which has raised questions about the effectiveness of the current selection panel. As the series heads to the next match, Pakistan seeks a turnaround at Lord's, with hopes for Babar Azam's return from injury to bolster the squad.
