PCB opens inquiry into player discipline

The Pakistan Cricket Board launched an inquiry into the conduct and discipline of its players following the team's performances against England. The board is examining player behaviour and off-field activities after consecutive Test defeats at Lord's and elsewhere.

Seven players and two coaches were removed from the squad during the ongoing series. Former national selector Misbah-ul-Haq resigned after the PCB issued show-cause notices to the entire selection committee. The board urged the public to rely on official updates amid growing speculation.

The inquiry covers contacts and activities of several players, including Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan. PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has faced criticism for involvement in selection matters during the tour.
