Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Rashid Latif launched a scathing attack on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), calling it the "worst cricket board in the last 70 years" following the Babar Azam-led team's devastating Test series defeat against England.

Pakistan lost the second Test at Lord’s by a huge margin of 194 runs, thereby conceding an unassailable 2-0 lead to England in the three-match series.

After their innings and 103-run defeat in the opening Test at Headingley, former England pacer Stuart Broad branded Pakistan a "poor side" and predicted a comfortable 3-0 series win for the home team. The English media amplified the narrative, with some analysts calling it the 'worst' touring Pakistan side in five decades.

However, Latif argued that the accountability shouldn't rest solely on the squad, but on the entire infrastructure.

“Everyone is talking about the Pakistan team and how it’s the worst touring team in the last 50 years. But nobody is speaking about how the current board is the worst in the last 70 years," Latif said while speaking on Geo News.

“Nobody is talking about the worst selection committee and coaches. If you combine these issues, you will get the answer to your question. You will know who has ruined this team. Now you are losing consistently. This is the worst cricket board; that is a fact," he added.

Pakistan's batting collapsed to 110 and 194 in the Lord's Test. Despite the highly anticipated return of captain Babar Azam from a finger injury, the visiting lineup crumbled against the English pacers, triggering intense backlash from both fans and cricket pundits.

Pakistan will now head to Edgbaston for the third and final Test beginning on September 9.
