Seven players were sacked by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following the two-run defeat suffered by the side against England in the two preceding Test matches. Salman Ali Agha, the skipper also was sent packing.

The report further contends that performances alone were not entirely responsible for the cull and that indiscipline was an additional concern
