Wasim Akram says Pakistan faced a likely 3-0 England defeat after major PCB shake-up

Former Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram comments on Pakistan’s struggling performances and the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) response ahead of Pakistan’s ongoing Test series. Across reports, Akram says he expected a heavy outcome, predicting or referencing a likely 3-0 England whitewash.

The articles also focus on the PCB’s changes following the second Test. The PCB sends seven players back home and sacks head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed along with his staff after the second Test. While Akram expresses sympathy for the players, he argues that attitude and approach also contribute to Pakistan’s problems. The outlets largely align on the same sequence of events—Pakistan’s results, Akram’s comments, and the PCB’s decisions—without presenting a detailed breakdown of match events or alternative explanations for the series outcome.
