There is going to be turmoil in the Pakistan team after the disappointing performance of the 2026 T20 World Cup. The Pakistani team had failed to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup and the Pakistani players were struggling even in defeating smaller teams. Now there is news that coach Mike Hesson may be on leave.
Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has made a big claim saying that those who advise Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin. Now Mike Hesson is no longer the choice of those advisors. Let us remind you that Mike Hesson became the head coach of the Pakistan team in May 2025 and not even a year has passed since he became the coach.
Pakistan team failed to win the Asia Cup 2025 title under the coach of Mike Hesson. Now in the T20 World Cup 2026, the Pakistan team could not go beyond the Super-8 stage. Pakistan’s performance was so poor that it won against only one full-member country in the entire tournament.
Basit Ali claimed that Mike Hesson is no longer in the eyes of Mohsin Naqvi’s advisors. He even said that the freedom that Mike Hesson was getting in selecting the 15-member team can now be taken away from him. Apart from this, selector Aaqib Javed made a big revelation in the press conference that the news of injury of Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman was also hidden.
The process of changing the coach of Pakistan team has been going on for a long time. Before him, Gary Kirsten and Test coach Jason Gillespie have also left the coaching post amid controversies. Before that, Azhar Mahmood and Mohammad Hafeez and before them Grant Bradburn were also removed after a short time.
