Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha dropped as Pakistan announce a revamped squad for the third Test vs England at Edgbaston

After a disappointing 2-0 series defeat against England, Pakistan have made major changes to their squad and support staff ahead of the third and final Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha, Ali Usman, Aamir Jamal, Muhammad Awais Zafar and Khurram Shahzad have been released from the touring squad. Imam-ul-Haq was injured during the second Test at Lord’s, while the other players have also been sent home after Pakistan’s poor performances.

The PCB has also released coaches Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul from their roles. Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke will replace them in the support staff, while Pakistan have named seven replacements, including five uncapped players and two cricketers with previous Test experience.
