Pakistan vs England: Finally, the Pakistan fans have a reason to celebrate as they have a series defeat against England in the three matches after losing the initial match at Multan. The win has come without the iconic presence of batter Babar Azam, who was dropped after his first test.

The second test was marked at the same track in Multan, which turned slower and more turning as Sajid Khan and Noman Ali stepped onto the field with the red ball and left the English batters awestruck with their excellence.


The batter, Kamran Ghulam, the debutant, stepped onto the field and scored a hundred, replacing Babar Azam from the squad. After coming back from a demoralizing loss against Bangladesh at home, this win will boost the morale of the Pakistan team.

They, like many other home sides, have found a way to win at home with the spin tracks and quality spinners who can make full use of the tract against SENA countries. This marked their first test series win at home after 3 years, as Shan Masood became the first Pakistani captain to win a red-ball series at Rawalpindi.


Fans have literally trolled their favourite cricketer, Babar Azam, as they claimed that the batter should be kept only for the Zimbabwe series and not picked for the remaining series.

Undoubtedly, the credit for this magnificent comeback for Pakistan would be handed to their two spinners, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan. The two spinners wreaked havoc first at Multan and then at the Rawalpindi track.

Sajid and Noman went on to pick 39 of their 40 wickets in the final two test matches. Both of them were not part of the squad for the first test and were later brought back into the side ahead of the second test.

After winning the second Test by a huge 152 runs, they followed the next inning with a surpassing 9-wicket win in the series decider when they finally clinched the series at Rawalpindi with a 2-1 win.
