Pakistan Cricket Board Starts Disciplinary Inquiry Amid Tour Turmoil

Pakistan cricket team, already trailing 2-0 in their Test series against England, has begun an internal disciplinary investigation concerning player conduct during their tumultuous England tour. Last week, seven players were sent home, seven replacements called up, and head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed was replaced by Mike Hesson. The situation escalated when the team threatened to cancel a match after a controversial interview with the sons of former Pakistan prime minister and captain Imran Khan. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) emphasized that the inquiry is following established procedures and dismissed external speculative reports as unreliable. New staff additions include coach Ashley Noffke, while the investigation details remain confidential.
