The Pakistan cricket team is currently going through a period of deep crisis. Ever since the team's disappointing performance on the recent tour of England, questions have been raised continuously about the board and the team management. The impact of this poor phase is now visible at the team selection and management levels.

According to an NDTV India report, major changes began with the removal of seven players from the team. The decision to drop these players caused a stir in the cricketing world. Just a day after this event, selector Misbah-ul-Haq surprised everyone by resigning from his post.

Misbah's resignation is being seen as another major sign of the chaos within Pakistan cricket. There has been significant criticism regarding the selection process and the team's performance since the team's dismal showing in England. It is believed that the sacking of the players and the subsequent resignation of the selector are results of this growing dissatisfaction.

This upheaval within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has left fans and experts concerned. Various speculations are now being made regarding the future of the team. Following Misbah's resignation, discussions have intensified regarding the process of including new faces in the selection committee.

Currently, there has been no detailed official statement from the board regarding this resignation, but it is being viewed as a major shift in cricketing circles. Demands for accountability were being raised continuously following the team's poor performance.

In the coming times, this phase is going to be quite challenging for the Pakistan cricket team. The team will not only have to improve its performance but also bring stability to the management level to face future challenges.
