Imran Khan, speaking from Adyala Jail, slammed PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi's recent comments regarding the need for a major overhaul in the Pakistan cricket team. Imran accused Naqvi of lacking credibility and being appointed based on contacts rather than merit.
What are Mohsin Naqvi's "surgery" comments?
Mohsin Naqvi's remarks about the team needing major surgery following Pakistan's losses to USA and India have stirred up controversy. He hinted changes in the team lineup, given the poor performance of the current players.
"I thought the team required minor surgery to start winning matches but now it appears that we have to go for major surgery. It is very disappointing the way we lost to the USA and now this loss to India. We need to now start looking at players beyond those in the team right now," Naqvi said while speaking to the media in New York.

What did Imran Khan say about Mohsin Naqvi's "surgery" comments?
Imran Khan, while addressing journalists from Adyala Jail, bashed on Naqvi, questioning his credibility and accusing him of being appointed based on connections rather than merit. Imran's remarks add fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding the leadership and management of Pakistan cricket.
"Mohsin Naqvi should himself undergo surgery who has no credibility and has been appointed on contacts and recommendation!," Imran Khan said.
As Pakistan faces Canada in their must-win match, the spotlight remains on the team's performance and the decisions made by PCB. While Naqvi has hinted at changes post the T20 world cup, Imran Khan's criticism highlights broader concerns about the selection process and governance within the cricket board.
