Babar Azam often gives the same answers, but then again, he does keep getting asked the same questions.

PCB chief medical officer Dr Sohail Saleem has quit after a damning independent report criticised 'delays in the diagnosis of Ihsanullah's injury and inappropriate prescription of treatment'

Full story: es.pn/3w9F2Ii

Hard to overstate how trenchant the ind report's criticism of the PCB's medical department is.

- Ihsanullah was inadequately treated
- the surgery was planned hurriedly
-the choice of surgeon was inappropriate

Faces a further year out and more surgery

Dr Sohail Saleem has quit as the PCB's chief medical officer following the submission of an independent report into the injury and treatment of Ihsanullah and three other Pakistan players.

I don't know how many individual performances in bilateral series compare to the kind of all-timer that Hayley Matthews is having in Pakistan

Chairman Mohsin Naqvi also says action was 'internally taken' against the players who were involved in the car accident ahead of the Pak WI women's series, and says a chief security officer will be appointed to the women's team to prevent such incidents in future

Gary Kirsten for white ball cricket and Jason Gillespie for Tests confirmed as Pakistan coaches.

And they'll have to try and defend 178 once more #PAKvsNZ

Not chasing 178 after not defending 178 is not an ideal couple of games. #PAKvsNZ

Outstanding all phase spells from Will O'Rourke and Ben Sears. Wickets early on, control in the middle and wickets once more at the death.

Combine for 5-54 in 8. #PAKvsNZ

On brand for Shadab the allrounder to not bowl in a completed T20I innings for the first time in his career - and yet be responsible for the moment of that innings. #PAKvsNZ

The Pak captain, vice captain and coach all had their day after yesterday's game.

They didn't necessarily agree.

His ability to remember every single marginal call that went against United is by far my favourite thing about EtH

Babar says Pakistan 'caught up' on the slowdown in the post-Powerplay overs. Not sure how you can catch up, especially with wickets in hand.

Surely if you accelerate through the post PP overs *and also* the death overs, you finish with a higher score? #PAKvsNZ

Convinced at this point that 11 randomly chosen New Zealanders could now come to Pakistan and walk away with a 2-2 T20I series draw. #PAKvNZ

Appreciate the heavens clearing for long enough to remind everyone that Shaheen is still in fact lethal in the first over. #PakvsNZ

It's IPL season, which can only mean one thing - New Zealand must be playing Pakistan. espncricinfo.com/story/pakistan…

The PCB have announced Ihsanullah left for Manchester today. Also stressed that the board would foot 'all the medical and rehabilitation expenses'.
