Pakistan’s defeat against India in the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai has not gone down well with the Pakistan Cricket Board. The top brass is all set to show the door to the interim head coach, Aaqib Javed, and the other members of the coaching staff.
India thrashed arch-rival Pakistan by six wickets in a Group A encounter, and several former Pakistan cricketers have criticised the current squad’s lack of quality.
Shoaib Akhtar, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Salman Butt, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis have all called out the lack of options in the squad and defensive play in the Champions Trophy.
According to a report in the news agency PTI, Aaqib Javed will be relieved of his duties as the interim head coach after the Champions Trophy.
“Obviously, there is backlash over the team’s performance in the CT. The Board hasn’t decided as yet on whether the team will have separate head coaches (for red and white ball teams), but one thing is certain: the current support staff will be overhauled now after the poor show in the Champions Trophy,” the source told PTI.
