‘Behavioural issues’ behind Mohammed, Imam axe? New details emerge from PCB

By Army jaat

**PCB Shock Shake-Up: What We Know So Far** Namaste, cricket lovers! 🙏 Let me break down this explosive story from England, where the PCB's dramatic squad overhaul keeps throwing up new twists. **The Behavioural Angle** The PCB sent home seven players and two coaches after losing the first two Tests vs Eng. Now, fresh reports (via PTI) suggest *behavioural issues* in the dressing room played a role in axeing senior names Mohammad Rizwan, Imamul Haq & Salman Ali Agha—not just poor form. **Player-by-Player Breakdown:** • **Rizwan (WK-Bat):** Struggled badly—just 61 runs across 4 innings. His shot selection & game-reading at Lord's drew heavy criticism. • **Imamul Haq:** Didn't bat in either Lord's innings after a calf strain. His decision to bowl without the bat raised commitment questions. • **Salman Ali Agha:** Stepped up as captain in Babar's absence in Test 1, then dropped for Match 2 before being sent home. All three now expected to face a committee & explain their conduct re: incidents during the WI & Eng tours. **The Rest of the Squad** The other players sent home were dropped on interim red-ball coach Mike Hesson's recommendation—he wanted to trial whiteball specialists he'd worked with before. **Selection Committee Chaos** Big drama off the field too: • Senior selector **Aaqib Javed** could be axed as part of PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi's planned cleanup. • **Misbah-ul-Haq** resigned earlier this week—status still unclear. • PCB issued showcause notices to the selection & advisory committees over the Imam & Rizwan picks for both tours. A new selection committee could be announced post-Eng tour. **Coach Update** Mike Hesson (who replaced Sarfaraz Ahmed) could stay on as *permanent* red-ball head coach—pending his agreement. Now the team focuses on the final Test at Edgbaston. Big questions ahead! 🏏 Source: Times of India
