'India lost to Ireland. Has cricket ended?' — Mohsin Naqvi

Mohsin Naqvi cited India's Ireland defeat to defend Pakistan's cricket shake-up after Test series loss.

PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi defended Pakistan's recent selection changes by comparing them to results involving other top teams. He pointed to India's defeat against Ireland and South Africa's loss to Namibia as examples of unexpected results. Naqvi questioned whether such outcomes should end cricket in those countries.

Pakistan recently lost a three-match Test series to England and sent several players home before the third Test at Edgbaston. The PCB has faced criticism from former players about the team's management and selection approach. Naqvi highlighted Pakistan's improvements in white-ball rankings despite the Test series defeat.

The PCB chairman's comments come amid ongoing domestic cricket challenges in Pakistan. The third Test against England begins on 9 September.
