Upset over Pakistan team’s poor performance and attitude of senior players, the team’s fielding coach Grant Luden tendered his resignation soon after the team lost to India in Adelaide on Feb 14, reported Dawn on Wednesday.
According to the report, Luden had faced criticism by some team players over his working ways.
In another report, Shahid Afridi, Ahmed Shahzad and Umar Akmal also had a heated debate with Luden during Tuesday’s fielding session.
