The Pakistan cricket team is facing a major shake-up following a disappointing 2-0 Test series defeat against Bangladesh, which has left them languishing at 8th place in the World Test Championships (WTC) 2025-27 Points Table. PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi is reportedly planning to remove Shan Masood from his position as Test captain and Sarfaraz Ahmed from his role as head coach. Sarfaraz, who took over the Test team recently, may be reassigned to manage the under-19 and A teams. In a bid to revitalize the team, the PCB is considering bringing in cricketing legends Younis Khan and Muhammad Hafeez for key roles. Younis Khan, a former captain with an impressive Test record, is in discussions with PCB officials about joining the board. The changes come as Pakistan has only managed to win one Test out of four, with their recent performance raising concerns about the team's future. Masood has requested more time to prove himself, especially with upcoming away series against West Indies and England, but the PCB seems poised for a significant overhaul.
