Phones confiscated, players sent home: Fixing cloud hangs over Pakistan cricket again

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made significant changes to its squad following the loss of the second Test against England, including dropping several players and replacing them with newcomers. The decision comes amid concerns about discipline and conduct, though the exact reasons remain unclear. The PCB has confiscated players' mobile devices and is conducting an internal disciplinary inquiry. While the PCB claims the changes are not aimed at axing players but rather replacing underperforming ones, some critics suggest the moves may be influenced by factors beyond cricket itself. The PCB has not provided detailed explanations for the disciplinary actions or the confiscation of devices.
