PCB launches inquiry into Imam-ul-Haq injury as Misbah quits selection committee
PCB probes Imam-ul-Haq over injury as Misbah-ul-Haq resigns from selection committee during England tour crisis.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has launched an inquiry into Imam-ul-Haq's calf injury after he did not bat in either innings of the second Test against England at Lord's. The board questioned the rationale behind including both Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq in the squad.
Misbah-ul-Haq has offered to resign from the selection committee following the mid-series overhaul that released seven players. Five uncapped players have been added to the Test squad.
Imam-ul-Haq is preparing to hire a lawyer to defend himself against the investigation. The PCB seeks explanation from its selection committee over the picks amid the team's poor performance in the ongoing England Test series.

The lawyer hire turns a selection controversy into a legal standoff. When a player prepares to litigate rather than explain, the PCB's internal inquiry has already lost its authority.
