Pakistan Cricket Team: Big changes have started in Pakistan cricket after suffering a clean sweep in the three-match home Test series against England. The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Rameez Raja, has been stripped of his chair, but more major decisions are yet to be taken. The team’s head coach Saqlain Mushtaq can leave his post and at the same time the sword is hanging over the captain Babar Azam.
Soon Pakistan has to play home Test series against New Zealand and Saqlain will resign from the post of coach only after its completion. As soon as the series against England was over, the coach and the captain were called to Lahore where a high level meeting took place. During this, the captain and the coach had to explain why the last team had to face a clean sweep of 3-0. A new coach can be seen in Pakistan cricket from the middle of January.
Test captaincy will be snatched from Babar
Test captaincy can be taken away from Babar Azam by July next year. Such an idea is being made that Babar should be allowed to captain only in limited overs and the burden of captaincy should not be put on him in all the three formats. Babar has told the reason for the clean sweep against England is the injury of his main fast bowlers. However, now his captaincy looks set to go and he may have his last chance against New Zealand.

Pakistan’s team for the Test series against the Kiwis was to be announced during the third Test against England itself, but the selectors deliberately announced it late. This was probably done so that the coach and captain could be cleared on a clean sweep.
