The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decides to send seven members of its touring Test squad home, including wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and batter Imam-ul-Haq, and replace them with a fresh group of players ahead of the third and final Test against England.
Both outlets report the move is linked to a behaviour-related issue, citing a claim that the decision is taken after concerns about conduct during the tour. The PCB action affects the composition of the squad for the concluding match of the series, with the board also naming that a total of seven players are involved.
While the report points to conduct as the reason for the changes, the available information does not detail the specific incidents, any formal charges, or the exact criteria used to arrive at the decision. The focus across the reporting remains on the PCB’s decision to alter the touring squad and the timing ahead of the last Test against England.
