Pakistan's interim head coach, Aaqib Javed, assured that the management will take steps in the best interest of the national team following their surprise early exit from the ongoing Champions Trophy.

Pakistan head coach Aaqib Javed has finally issued a statement after the team’s early exit from the Champions Trophy 2025. He cited the absence of key players and lack of experienced match-winners as major factors behind their disappointing performance.
