Pakistan sack seven players and head coach after England tour

Pakistan removed seven players, head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul from the tour of England. White-ball coaches Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke were asked to take charge of the red-ball team for the remainder of the series.

Former captain Misbah-ul-Haq resigned from the selection panel and stepped away from his batting consultant role at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore. The changes follow a difficult tour that included multiple defeats.

The PCB has not announced replacements for the sacked coaches. The remaining tour schedule will proceed under the interim coaching arrangement.
