Shahid Afridi has strongly criticised Pakistan's decision to make major changes to the Test team and coaching staff midway through the England series.

Former Pakistan star all-rounder Shahid Afridi has slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over its decision to make major changes to the Test team in the middle of the England series. The former Pakistan captain questioned the logic behind the move after the team suffered heavy defeats in the first two Tests.

Afridi also raised questions over the players brought into the squad, saying that some T20 players have been picked for a Test match in England. He also questioned the decision to remove the coach after only five Test matches.

Afridi was particularly critical of the timing of the changes, which came after Pakistan lost the first two Tests against England.

He questioned why such a major overhaul was needed after the defeat at Lord's, especially with only one Test remaining in the series.
