The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday announced the release of seven Test squad members, including Mohammad Rizwan, Imamul Haq and Salman Ali Agha, during the ongoing series against England.
The cricket board’s decision came after Pakistan suffered a thumping 194-run defeat to England in the second Test at Lord’s.
With the victory, the hosts took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series, after the visitors also suffered an innings-and-103-run thrashing in the first Test at Headingley.
According to a press release, Rizwan, Imam, Agha, along with Ali Usman, Aamir Jamal, Muhammad Awais Zafar and Khurram Shahzad, have been released from the squad.
The PCB also named seven replacements, including “five uncapped players at Test level and two capped players”.
