Pakistan batting coach Mohammad Yousuf has made it abundantly clear that players who “will not follow instructions will not remain in the team”.
Yousuf’s no-nonsense approach comes at a time when the men in green have failed to secure the results expected of them.
Pakistan were knocked out in the group stage of the 2025 Champions Trophy after going winless throughout the tournament.
They then embarked on a white-ball tour of New Zealand and were demolished 4-1 in the T20I series before being whitewashed 3-0 in the ODIs.
Knowing that things need to change, Yousuf reiterated that he wants the Pakistan players to fall in line or be removed from the team.
“Those who will not follow instructions will not remain in the team,” he said on Samaa TV programme Zor Ka Jor.
Many of the Pakistan players have been playing in the 2025 Pakistan Super League (PSL) lately.
Once PSL 10 ends on May 25, Pakistan will face Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series in Lahore from May 28 to June 1.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh T20I Series:Â Salman Ali Agha (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Sahibzada Farhan (wicketkeeper) and Saim Ayub
