Following Pakistan's disappointing 61-run defeat to India in the T20 World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has expressed significant dissatisfaction with the team's performance. Reports indicate that Naqvi has communicated his intent to make substantial changes within the squad, including the potential removal of key players such as captain Babar Azam and fast bowler Shaheen Afridi.
