Misbah-ul-Haq resigns from his role on Pakistan’s Cricket Board selection committee as the PCB reshapes parts of the Test setup. Multiple reports say the move follows a broader shake-up that includes changes to team selection and coaching positions, with a number of personnel being removed after recent setbacks.
According to the reports, the overhaul follows losses to England and results in an expanded Test squad featuring several uncapped players. Times of India says Misbah’s resignation is linked to the reshuffle and that it adds to the instability around Pakistan cricket’s current direction. NDTV reports that Misbah has submitted his resignation, but the PCB has not yet accepted it.
While both outlets agree on the resignation and the timing around the Test squad overhaul, they differ slightly on emphasis: Times of India focuses on the dismissal of players and coaches and the pathway for new selections, while NDTV highlights the administrative status of Misbah’s resignation—pending PCB acceptance.
