The first Test against England in Multan saw Pakistan break another embarrassing record, becoming the first team to lose by an innings after posting a score of 500+ in the first innings. As is often the case in Pakistan cricket, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) responded with some major reactionary steps, including the release of Babar Azam, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah from the Test squad.

Additionally, a new four-member selection committee was formed, featuring former Test pacer Aaqib Javed, middle-order batters Asad Shafiq and Azhar Ali, and, surprisingly, former umpire Aleem Dar.

To discuss these developments, 

From addressing Babar Azam's poor form to analyzing the deeper issues within Pakistan cricket, Atiq offered a fresh perspective on the challenges currently facing the PCB.

Key Points to look forward to:

1.Another whitewash for Pakistan at home?
2.How Babar Azam made enemies in the media
3.The sad state of affairs in the PCB
