The former wicketkeeper-batsman minced no words in stating that the senior players had let the team down in South Africa both in Tests and in the One-day series.
"These players have served Pakistan cricket well for many years but now I think the time has come for the cricket board to take some tough decisions after the South African tour," he said.
"I think there is a need for changes in the team and we need to now response more confidence and faith in our younger players like Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal, Faisal Iqbal and some others performing well in domestic cricket. I think we need to start looking forward now," Moin said.
"Younis Khan has also struggled in One day cricket and Shoaib Malik is also not consistent. I think the board needs to think about the future. Those who are not performing consistently now and can't finish the big matches, they must be replaced," Moin said.
Pressure has been growing on the board to hold an inquiry into the performance of the team in South Africa with rumours rife about all not being well in the Pakistan dressing room on the present tour.
