Pakistan have made a major change to their Test squad for the England tour, releasing Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha, Ali Usman, Aamer Jamal, Awais Zafar and Khurram Shahzad. Imam missed the second Test at Lord’s due to a calf injury, while Rizwan and Salman were also dropped from the squad.

The decision comes just days after a viral video showed Salman Agha presenting Ali Usman with his debut Test cap before the series against the West Indies. Salman praised Usman for his hard work in domestic cricket over eight to nine years before finally making his international debut. The two players shared an emotional hug as the squad celebrated Usman’s achievement. Now, in a surprising twist, both Usman and Salman have been axed from the team.
