Pakistan were thrown into further disarray on Tuesday after Misbah-ul-Haq quit as a selector.Daily Mail Sport understands that Misbah responded to a request to explain some of the selections for the Test tour of England by submitting a resignation letter to the Pakistan Cricket Board.Misbah, 52, also stepped down from his batting consultancy role at Pakistan’s national academy in Lahore after he and fellow selectors Aaqib Javed, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Asad Shafiq were asked to reply with their rationale for picking certain players.The development comes just 24 hours after the PCB reacted to going 2-0 down in the three-match series against Joe Root’s team by sending seven players home and releasing Sarfaraz and Umar Gul from their duties as head coach and bowling coach respectively.Mike Hesson, Pakistan’s white-ball coach, replaces Sarfaraz at the helm for the third match at Edgbaston next week, supported by ex-Australia pace bowler Ashley Noffke.It led to Shahid Afridi writing on social media: ‘Not sure what is the logic or reasoning behind this decision! Pakistan were thrown into further disarray on Tuesday after Misbah-ul-Haq quit as a selector The development comes just 24 hours after Pakistan sent seven players home (including Khurram Shahzad (above)) and released their head coach and bowling coach ‘Even the replacements make no sense – T20 players have been included for a Test match in England?‘What is this thinking and approach? Why has the coach been axed after five Test matches?‘This is the most shocking decision ever by a selection committee which includes so many experienced selectors.’Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq, the two players under scrutiny from the PCB hierarchy, were ditched on Monday along with Salman Ali Agha, the man who led them in the first Test defeat at HeadingleyAli Usman, who took a five-wicket haul in Leeds, Aamer Jamal, Awais Zafar and Khurram Shahzad were also dispensed with.Five uncapped players – Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Saad Baig, Mohammad Imran Randhawa, and Razaullah – were drafted in along with Saim Ayub and Abdullah Fazal.Post Lord’s defeat, the selection panel were given notice of 24 hours to provide evidence of why they chose certain cricketers.At which juncture Misbah, formerly both captain and coach of Pakistan, opted to stand down. Pakistan (pictured captain Babar Azam) have endured a shambolic tour of England so far Pakistan are also advertising for a new fielding coach, with the advert seen on LinkedInThe raft of changes are in keeping with a shambolic few weeks here in which Pakistan have failed to reach 200 in any of their four Test innings.On the first day at Lord’s they denied reports they were planning to stay in the dressing-room at the end of lunch break in protest at Sky Sports’ broadcast of an interview with the sons of the imprisoned former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan.Imam, meanwhile, failed to bat in either innings at Lord’s after injuring his calf, while Rizwan has twice lost his wicket aiming outlandish swipes across the line against England’s seamers.On Tuesday, eagle-eyed supporters also noticed that the Pakistan Cricket Board had posted an advert for a new fielding coach on LinkedIn.Within the advert, part of the job description read: ‘The PCB is seeking an experienced and skilled fielding coach to join the Pakistan Men’s National Cricket Team.’The fielding coach will play a crucial role in developing and enhancing the fielding skills of Pakistan National Team Players.’ Misbah was renowned for his statesmanlike leadership, overseeing the 2-0 Test series win over England in 2015 and inspiring a Lord’s victory the following year with a stoic hundred.
