Pakistan's next assignment is the Test series at home against England, but as per claims made by country's former batsman Basit Ali, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is working overtime to ensure the team does well in ICC Champions Trophy that the country is set to host in February-March next year.
Talking about a meeting before the one that was held to pick the squad for the first Test against England, Basit made serious claims, alleging that white-ball coach and former South Africa batsman Gary Kirsten is now part of the politics in Pakistan cricket.
