Pakistan’s troubled England tour has taken another turn after reports that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) seized mobile phones from some players amid an internal disciplinary inquiry. Pakistani outlet 365 News reported that the devices would remain with the board until the third Test at Edgbaston on September 9. However, the PCB has not confirmed that the inquiry is linked to the reported phone seizure or to match-fixing, and no player has been publicly accused of an integrity offence. The development follows major changes to Pakistan’s squad and coaching staff after England took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-Test series at Lord’s. (PC: The Telegraph)
