Pakistan’s shambolic tour of England has plumbed new depths after seven members of their 16-man touring party, as well as head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed, were replaced with immediate effect.Pakistan head to Birmingham ahead of next week’s final Test seeking to avoid a 3–0 whitewash, but will do so with a new-look squad of players after wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, opener Imam-ul-Haq, spinner Ali Usman and middle-order batsman Salman Agha – who captained the team in the first Test at Headingley before being dropped for the second at Lord’s – were among those to be discarded.Sarfaraz, who has only been in charge since April, makes way for New Zealander Mike Hesson, who is already in charge of Pakistan’s white-ball set-up, while bowling coach Umar Gul is replaced by Australian Ashley Noffke.Among the new arrivals are batsmen Saim Ayub and Abdullah Fazal, as well as spin-bowling all-rounder Arafat Minhas, who is yet to play a Test. Imam-ul-Haq is among the seven Pakistan stars to be discarded on a disastrous tourThe wholesale changes are in keeping with a chaotic tour in which Pakistan have been ridiculed for their on-field performances, failing to reach 200 in any of their four innings.On the first day of the Lord’s Test had to deny 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.Pakistan squad for the third Test at Edgbaston: Babar Azam (capt), Abdullah Fazal, Abdullah Shafique, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Mohammad Abbas, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Imran, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Muhammad Ghazi Ghori (wkt), Razaullah, Saad Baig (wkt) Saim Ayub, Sajid Khan, Saud Shakeel, Shan Masood, Ubaid Shah.
