PCB accused of creating diversion with player conduct inquiry

The Mohsin Naqvi-led PCB was accused of trying to create a diversion after Pakistan's poor performance in England. Critics claim the inquiry into players' discipline and conduct serves to shift attention from broader structural issues.

Reports suggest players' phones were taken and data transferred as part of the investigation. The board launched the probe following Pakistan's Test series defeat at Lord's.

Former players and commentators questioned whether the inquiry addresses root causes or merely deflects from selection and coaching decisions that contributed to the series loss.
