Pakistan drop seven players, call up five uncapped and release head coach after England series

Pakistan have dropped seven players, called up five uncapped players and released their head coach in response to their series defeat by England. BBC Sport reports the changes represent an extraordinary overhaul of the national side following the loss. The moves remove seven previously selected players from contention and bring five new, uncapped players into the squad. The board’s decision to part company with the head coach completes a swift, significant shake-up of the team’s structure. The changes will reshape selection options and introduce a number of debutants as Pakistan rebuild their playing group after the series defeat by England.
