The Pakistan cricket team is set to depart for New Zealand next week. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had appointed Aqib Javed as the interim head coach until the Champions Trophy.

Following Pakistan's disappointing performance in the ICC Champions Trophy, experts, analysts, and fans are questioning whether Aqib Javed will receive an extension despite the team's dismal display.

PCB sources indicate that a new head coach may be appointed for the team.

It is worth noting that Aqib Javed recently defended Pakistani players, which led to sharp criticism from former cricketers.

After Pakistan’s second defeat in the Champions Trophy, Aqib Javed stated, "You can't just replace those who lose; should we bring in an Under-19 team instead?"
