Misbah-ul-Haq has offered his resignation.

Overview

  • England won the first two Tests decisively, and Pakistan responded by sending seven players home and relieving head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul of their duties.
  • The PCB confirmed on Monday that it has opened an internal disciplinary inquiry to review media reports about the team’s discipline and conduct.
  • Multiple Pakistani outlets report that team phones were confiscated and data reportedly transferred from the devices of Imam‑ul‑Haq and Mohammad Rizwan, though the board has not announced charges.
  • Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke have taken temporary red‑ball charge for the third Test at Edgbaston while PCB officials, including Aaqib Javed, have publicly criticised certain player actions.
  • The probe has widened the crisis from poor results to governance and integrity concerns, reviving match‑fixing fears linked to Lord’s history and leaving the squad’s composition and futures uncertain ahead of the September 9 Test.
