Pakistan's disappointing campaign in the 2025 Champions Trophy has sparked major concerns, with reports suggesting that key players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf might be dropped. The team’s performance fell short of expectations, as they failed to win a single game and were eliminated early from the tournament. According to Cricket Pakistan, the PCB is considering a major squad overhaul ahead of their next assignment in New Zealand. Some players, sensing the pressure, are reportedly thinking about opting out of the tour themselves to avoid the embarrassment of being dropped. This uncertainty has left fans wondering about the team’s future as Pakistan prepares for the challenges ahead.

His inability to accelerate in crucial moments has drawn criticism, making his spot uncertain. The bowling attack, which was expected to dominate, also failed to deliver. Shaheen, Naseem, and Haris, known for their lethal pace, could not perform when the team needed them the most. All-rounder Faheem Ashraf might also face the axe due to inconsistent performances. Meanwhile, Fakhar Zaman, who was initially part of the squad, was ruled out due to injury and could miss future selections. Pakistan’s upcoming tour of New Zealand is seen as an opportunity to test new talent and rebuild the squad. With the T20 World Cup in 2026 and the 50-over World Cup in 2027, the PCB is likely to focus on a long-term plan. Reports also suggest that the entire coaching staff could be dismissed, as Pakistan looks to start afresh. With changes looming, Pakistani cricket is at a turning point. Fans are hopeful that the right decisions will be made to bring the team back to winning ways.
