Aaqib Javed defends Mohsin Naqvi's mid-tour overhaul decision

Aaqib Javed has defended PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi's decision to sack coaches and release players during the England tour. The selector cited prolonged failure to compete as justification for the intervention.

Javed stated that the board had no choice but to step in after the team's consistent underperformance. The overhaul included changes to both the squad composition and coaching staff.

The intervention came after Pakistan lost the Lord's Test by 194 runs, giving England an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-Test series.
