PCB takes Pakistan players' phones into custody during England Test series

The Pakistan Cricket Board seized mobile phones from players during the ongoing Test series against England as part of an internal investigation. The board did not disclose the subject of the probe.

ICC regulations already bar phones from certain match zones to protect integrity. The PCB action goes further by removing devices from players' possession entirely.

No timeline has been given for the return of the phones. The series continues with the third Test at The Oval next week.
