Mohsin Naqvi loses patience after Pakistan turmoil; set to axe Aaqib Javed, man behind Test squad shake-up: Report

Following Pakistan's disastrous 0-3 Test series sweep in England and their slide to ninth position in the ICC rankings, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi is preparing a major restructuring of the setup. Senior selector Aaqib Javed is poised to be ousted after orchestrating an aggressive overhaul following the defeat at Lord's, an upheaval that saw seven cricketers alongside head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul dismissed and returned home mid-tour.

Furthermore, women's side mentor Wahab Riaz will reportedly be relieved of his post once the Asian Games in Japan conclude, as the board explores hiring overseas tacticians for the women's program.

The administrative shake-up comes as limited-overs coach Mike Hesson expresses willingness to oversee all formats for the men's national side, though he has demanded a dedicated transition period, a defined timeline, and complete autonomy from outside interference before accepting the Test role. Naqvi intends to convene top-level discussions with key advisors and consult governing board representatives to finalize these transitions and revamp the selection panel in an effort to halt the team's ongoing slump.
