What happened
Pakistan’s cricket team faced fresh controversy when several players dropped from the Test squad were told to attend a meeting with King Charles III. Four attended despite preferring to stay away, while one refused in protest. The meeting came after Pakistan’s defeats to England triggered major squad changes, the sacking of coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and the appointment of Mike Hesson.
