"It won’t happen again": Salman Ali Agha takes indirect swipe at Mohsin Naqvi and PCB over mass sacking

Ahead of the triangular ODI tournament championship match against Sri Lanka, Pakistani cricketer Salman Ali Agha publicly addressed the drastic mid-series roster changes previously enacted by Mohsin Naqvi and the national board during an away Test assignment against England. Expressing his displeasure at the sudden removal of seven players and coaching staff members like Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul, he stated his desire that such abrupt dismissals during an ongoing campaign never happen again.

Speaking to journalists in Lahore, the player also assessed his squad's upcoming championship fixture and the recent struggles of senior batters like Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman. Despite recent top-order vulnerabilities, he voiced confidence that the team can claim the trophy if they execute their game plan effectively, while reflecting on the departures of figures such as Misbah-ul-Haq following the earlier turmoil.
