ENG vs PAK Test Series 2026: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi found himself in an uncomfortable situation in London on Wednesday after being cornered by Pakistani journalists outside a private dinner venue. In a video that quickly became viral on social media, the board chief was seen walking away briskly to avoid answering difficult questions about the Pakistan national cricket team and their heavy 2-0 defeat against the England national cricket team. Surrounded by microphones and cameras, Naqvi refused to comment on the team’s poor performances or sudden squad changes, choosing instead to rush straight into his waiting car.

Viral Video Shows Mohsin Naqvi Dodging London Media
The viral footage shows local Pakistani reporters asking Naqvi about the reasons behind the team’s ongoing batting collapses and sloppy fielding blunders in England.
Journalists also pressed him regarding the board’s decision to drop seven players and coaching staff members right in the middle of the tour.
Rather than addressing the concerns of supporters, Naqvi kept silent and kept walking at a fast pace. Security guards accompanied the PCB chief as he ignored the questions, opened his car door, and drove away from the gathering without uttering a single word.
Growing Crisis Surrounding Pakistan Test Team Performance
The incident in London highlights the immense pressure facing the cricket administration following back-to-back losses in Leeds and London.
Pakistan lost the first match by an innings and were completely outplayed at Lord’s, losing by 194 runs to surrender the series 2-0 with one game remaining.
Public frustration grew even further when the cricket board posted an open job listing on LinkedIn to hire a new fielding coach while the series was still being played, turning the team’s struggles into a topic of ridicule online.
Severe Criticism From Former Players Over Board Management
Former Pakistan captains and cricket experts have openly questioned Naqvi’s leadership, criticizing the sudden changes made during an active international tour.
Former skipper Shahid Afridi expressed anger at the way senior players were treated, claiming that the current administration lacks basic cricket knowledge.
With captain Babar Azam also dealing with illness and the final Test match scheduled in Birmingham on September nine, the viral video has only increased calls from supporters for greater accountability from the top leadership.
