The post appeared to reference the PCB&#8217;s controversial decisions during the ongoing Test series against England, as well as Naqvi&#8217;s recent comments while defending the board&#8217;s actions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>&#8220;We are going to launch a new cricketing challenge for coastal cricketers.

The PCB released seven players from the tour and replaced head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/sarfaraz-ahmed\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sarfaraz Ahmed<\/a> ahead of the third Test, with white-ball coach Mike Hesson taking charge of the red-ball side. Bowling coach Umar Gul was also replaced by Ashley Noffke.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha, Ali Usman, Aamir Jamal, Muhammad Awais Zafar and Khurram Shahzad were among those released from the squad after Pakistan went 2-0 down in the three-match series.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Earlier, following Pakistan\u2019s defeat at Lord\u2019s, the team attended a dinner with King Charles. Iceland Cricket also took a dig at the PCB and the Pakistan team over the visit, joking:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cYou can bet he didn\u2019t know who most of the players were, because nobody else does\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Naqvi&#8217;s India-Ireland remark draws attention<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Naqvi has also faced criticism over his response to questions surrounding Pakistan&#8217;s performances and the PCB&#8217;s decisions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>While defending the changes, the PCB chairman pointed to India&#8217;s recent T20I defeat against Ireland and questioned whether that meant &#8220;cricket had ended&#8221;. His comments were intended to argue that even leading teams can suffer unexpected defeats and that Pakistan&#8217;s setbacks should not be viewed as the end of the country&#8217;s cricketing
