'We have nothing to lose': Babar Azam rallies Pakistan for Edgbaston Test

Pakistan captain Babar Azam has urged his reshaped side to play without fear in the third and final Test against England, insisting there is little left to lose after a dramatic mid-series overhaul by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).Pakistan trail 0-2 after heavy defeats at Headingley and Lord’s, with the PCB responding by releasing seven players from the touring squad and removing head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and assistant Umar Gul. Five players without Test experience have been brought into the squad, while Mike Hesson and Ashley Noffke have taken charge for the Edgbaston Test.With Pakistan already out of contention for the series, Babar believes the upheaval can instead give the newcomers a chance to make an impact.‘We should play freely’“The series is lost but we have nothing to lose,” Babar said on the eve of the Test.
