Overview
- Pakistani outlets report the Pakistan Cricket Board is considering moving white-ball head coach Mike Hesson into the Test setup, with the coverage based on unnamed sources.
- The reports say Hesson has been asked to join the Test squad and is likely to be in the dressing room for Pakistan’s third Test at Edgbaston.
- The possible intervention follows Pakistan’s heavy loss at Lord’s and recent Test captaincy changes, which the reports say have prompted urgent internal review of coaching arrangements.
- Coverage indicates that Sarfaraz Ahmed, Pakistan’s current Test coach, would face serious pressure on his position and could be relieved after the England tour if the board formalises changes.
- All accounts are preliminary and sourced to the Pakistan Observer and secondary outlets citing unnamed insiders, and the Pakistan Cricket Board has not publicly confirmed any decision.
