Rashid Latif attacks PCB after latest ruckus
Rashid Latif criticises PCB's mid-series overhaul, questioning why selectors are now punishing players they previously chose for the England tour.
Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif has criticised the PCB's decision to overhaul the Test squad during the England tour. The board sent seven players home and replaced two coaches after Pakistan's heavy defeats. Latif questioned the logic of punishing players for selections made by the same committee now making changes.
He also raised concerns about the treatment of current and former cricketers during the overhaul. Latif warned that decisions made in haste create larger problems, noting that life operates in cycles.
The former wicketkeeper's comments add to growing criticism of the PCB's handling of the England series. The team faces the final Test with a significantly altered squad.
CricHubb Take
Latif's reference to life operating in cycles points to institutional memory within Pakistan cricket. Former players who experienced similar administrative upheavals now see patterns repeating, suggesting the current crisis follows a predictable rather than exceptional trajectory.
