Saqlain Mushtaq, the head coach of Pakistan, received flak for declaring that his team would attempt to secure a consolation victory in the third Test, which will start on December 17.
Pakistan, who will host England in a Test series at home. Is already in bad shape after dropping the first two games of the series. While both games were fiercely contested, there is no doubting that Pakistan’s cricket squad. And its coaches have been under fire ever since the outcome of the series was decided. Former top selector, head coach, and former Test batter for Pakistan Mohsin Khan has criticised Saqlain Mushtaq for saying the squad would now try for a “consolation win” in the third Test after letting the series slip out of their hands.
“He is now talking about a consolation win rather than where we are going wrong. Who is Saqlain as a coach?” on a Pakistani TV station, Mohsin stated.
After being questioned about the uneven performance of vice-captain and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan thus far in the series during the post-match conference. Pakistan’s batting coach Mohammad Yousuf was also criticised for his response that he had “no role in selection matters.” Shahid Afridi, a former captain of Pakistan, wasn’t convinced by Yousuf’s justification.

Afridi commented on a television channel. “I think it was not a fantastic response from Yousuf and I feel Rizwan has to be given a break and rested. Pakistan should bring in Sarfaraz Ahmed in his stead for Test matches.”
The second Test match between England and Pakistan ended with a hard-fought 26-run victory for England in Multan on Monday. Giving them a commanding 2-0 series lead after England pacer Mark Wood claimed four Pakistan wickets.
With the wickets of Mohammad Nawaz (45) and Saud Shakeel (94) in the space of 12 balls and one run. Wood, who missed England’s 74-run victory in the first Test at Rawalpindi due to a hip injury, helped England win the game.
