Islamabad, Feb 26 2025: The early exit of Pakistan from the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 has left fans disappointed and raised many questions about the performance of the team.
It has been reported that Mohammad Rizwan and Aqib Javed are not on the same page when it comes to making major decisions regarding the selection.
This power struggle between captain and head coach during the marquee event contributed to the disappointing performance of the Men in Green.
Reports revealed that Rizwan advocated for the inclusion of Khushdil Shah, but Aqib Javed chose Faheem Ashraf without consulting him.
Despite the recommendation of Mohsin Naqvi to review the squad twice, his advice was ignored, and he refrained from making unilateral changes to the lineup.
After the poor performance of the team in the Champions Trophy, the cricket board confirmed a thorough review of the mistakes and areas for improvement.
Aqib Javed, who is appointed temporarily as head coach, has no plans to resign but will step down as the PCB seeks necessary changes.
The selection committee may also face scrutiny, with tough decisions expected from the board in response to public criticism.
