Pakistan's interim head coach, Mike Hesson, has acknowledged that his players are used to 'chaos' following significant changes to the team for the final Test against England. This comes after the tourists were hammered by 194 runs at Lord's and lost an innings match at Headingley, leaving them 2-0 down with just one match to play at Edgbaston from September 9.
The Pakistan Cricket Board took drastic action, sending seven players home and replacing head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed with Hesson, who specializes in white-ball cricket. Additionally, seven new players were called up, five of whom are uncapped.
Hesson, speaking to BBC, emphasized the team's adaptability, stating, 'Our players are used to chaos. We have to make sure we can handle the pressure and perform under these conditions.
