Shahid Afridi criticizes Pakistan cricket’s decision to change almost half of the squad mid-series after the team suffers two losses to England. Afridi’s remarks are reported as particularly sharp, with the move described as Pakistan’s “most shocking decision.”
The decision comes as Pakistan’s performance worsens, leading to increased public and media scrutiny of team management. The reports frame Afridi’s reaction as a response to instability within the squad, rather than as a commentary on the individual results alone. While the coverage focuses on Afridi’s fury, it points to a broader controversy around selection continuity during an ongoing series.
Across the outlets, the central shared point is that Pakistan alters a large portion of its squad during the series following setbacks against England, and that Afridi publicly criticizes this approach. Both accounts present the same timeline and reaction, with wording differences but no substantial disagreement on the sequence of events.
