LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken notice of team’s humiliating defeat against India in their first match, and formed a three-member committee to probe into the matter.

The committee, which includes PCB Chief Operating Officer (COO) Subhan Ahmad, and former Test cricketers Mudassar Nazar and Haroon Rasheed, will submit its report to chairman of the board after holding discussions with team management and players, and action will be taken accordingly.

Let it be known that India had brushed aside Pakistan in their tournament opener on Sunday by 124 runs. The Green Shirts were outclassed by their counterparts in all three departments of the game.

Team’s strategy and performance were strongly criticized afterwards, and different questions were raised. Sources also revealed that head coach Mickey Arthur not only declared the defeat at India’s hands ordinary, but also forbade the senior players to give their suggestions to captain, Sarfraz Ahmed.

It was also unearthed that the decision in the team meeting was taken to bat first after winning the toss, but every player was surprised when Pakistan suddenly decided to bowl.
