Sarfaraz denies knowing about Pakistan threat to end tour

Pakistan cricket head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed has stated that neither he nor his squad were aware of a reported threat issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The alleged threat concerned a scheduled Sky Sports interview featuring the sons of Imran Khan.

The situation highlights internal tensions regarding media involvement during the tour. By explicitly denying prior knowledge of the PCB's ultimatum, the head coach has distanced the team management and players from the administrative dispute between the two cricket boards.
