The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced a massive squad overhaul on August 31, 2026, following a humiliating Test series defeat to England at Lord's.
Seven players, including senior members, have been released, and coaches Sarfaraz Ahmed and Mohammad Gul have been removed from their positions.
The board is now calling up seven new players to restructure the team, aiming to address the 'toxic dysfunctionality' cited by critics and former players.
