A strange situation has emerged within the Pakistan cricket team before the third Test match against England at Edgbaston. Team captain Babar Azam made a shocking revelation, stating that he had no information regarding the decision to remove seven players from the team.

According to the report from the Amar Ujala sports desk, this decision was taken without the captain's consent. Distancing himself from the entire matter, Babar Azam said that he was unaware of the reasons behind this change.

The decision to suddenly drop the players was taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). This incident has highlighted a lack of coordination between the team management and the board.

Following Babar Azam's statement, discussions have intensified in the cricket world. The captain's claim that he was not informed about the decision raises serious questions about the board's operations.

Usually, the captain's role is considered crucial in team selection, but this time it appears that he was completely sidelined.

Removing seven players from the team simultaneously is a major change before any important match. This could also impact the morale of the players.

Currently, there has been no official response from the PCB on this matter. Cricket fans are now eager to see how this controversy will affect the team's performance.

Babar Azam's statement points toward internal friction within Pakistan cricket. Such news can be challenging for the team ahead of the third Test match.
