“England’s Confidence Soars as Pakistan Faces Turmoil Ahead of Second Test”

**England's Confidence Contrasts with Pakistan's Turmoil Ahead of Second Test** The ongoing Test series between England and Pakistan continues to deliver unexpected twists, even off the field. Following England's commanding victory in the first Test by an innings and 47 runs, Pakistan has made the shocking decision to overhaul their team. Notably, they have dropped their most prominent and experienced player, former captain Babar Azam, along with their leading fast bowlers, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah, for the remaining matches against England. Additionally, Sarfaraz Ahmed, another former captain who did not participate in the first Test, has also been released from the squad. In the wake of this defeat, the Pakistan Cricket Board has revamped its selection panel, which convened in Lahore on Friday and reconvened in Multan on Saturday. The new panel includes Jason Gillespie, the team's coach, and captain Shan Masood, whose own position is reportedly under scrutiny. As England looks to build on their momentum from the first Test, the atmosphere surrounding the Pakistan team is one of uncertainty and upheaval.
