PCB Launches Probe Into Imam-Ul-Haq's Alleged Fake Injury

(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to launch a high-level investigation into opener Imam

Haq's alleged fake injury.
The decision comes after media reports and some former cricketers raised doubts about Imam
Haq's injury. According to sources, the PCB will review Imam's medical report as well as the role of the team management.
During the Lord's Test, Imam
Haq complained of calf pain on the first day and did not come out to bat in Pakistan's second innings after batting in the first innings.

Following Pakistan's 194-run defeat to England at Lord's and their series loss, the Pakistan team management also held an emergency meeting in London, where important decisions were made.

According to sources, the PCB has decided to send wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and opener Imam
Haq back to Pakistan immediately. Concerns were also raised over Rizwan's poor performance, particularly his irresponsible dismissals in two consecutive Test matches.
It is worth mentioning that questions have also been raised about Imam
Haq's fitness in the past, which is why the PCB is taking the current matter seriously.

Meanwhile, major changes are expected in the national team ahead of the third Test, which begins in Birmingham on September 9. Saim Ayub and Arafat Minhas are reportedly strong candidates to be added to the squad.

Pakistan suffered their first defeat at Lord's in 16 years, allowing England to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
