After a long wait, the new schedule of Pakistan’s home series against England has finally been released. Due to the construction work at the National Stadium, Karachi, the second test will also be held in Multan. The rest of the schedule has been maintained. will be able to enjoy the matches, the third test will be in Rawalpindi.
The national cricketers are busy in the ODI Champions Cup in Faisalabad these days. This is not the right time to organize this tournament. The Pakistani team has to play the red ball home series against England next month. The white ball tournament continues for a week before that. It doesn’t seem right to stay, the players who are playing the Champions Cup will also participate in the series against England, their style must have been set for ODIs, so soon for them to come into Test mode from ODIs. It will not be easy, it would have been appropriate to hold the Champions Cup at another time.
The England team is coming with full preparation to play a series of three Test matches, the competition will be very tough, Pakistani players are also forced to prepare for the Test series from the Champions Cup, they should take advantage of this opportunity. He should put up such a performance that the selectors are forced to give him a chance.
The England team had given us a clean sweep at home grounds 2 years ago, recently Pakistan had to suffer defeat in both the matches against Bangladesh, now they have to play three Test matches against a strong opponent like England. If you do not prepare properly, God willing you will not have to face negative consequences again.
Before the series, it was good to see that Babar Azam has started scoring runs again. By playing the innings, they have got an opportunity to restore confidence, for positive results against England, we will need in-form Babar Azam. , he is no longer the captain but as a regular player he can make up for these defeats by performing brilliantly.
In the last series against England, he scored more than 500 runs with the help of a century and three fifties, now there is a good chance to repeat this performance. Very talented cricketer, will surely perform well in the remaining matches, Shaun is also under pressure due to continuous defeats, next series is only 2 weeks away, in such a short time hardly PCB Change the captain.
It is expected that Shan Masood will get one more series to prove his leadership skills, however, he has less time now, whitewash in both consecutive series and losing all five Tests are starting to raise questions, Kamran in Pakistan Cup. Ghulam has scored 2 centuries so far, he has honed his skills by performing in domestic cricket and deserves an opportunity at the international level as well. But our bowlers are not in good form right now.
England’s baseball style is anyway to dominate the bowlers with aggressive play, in the last series we saw how England scored 506 runs on the first day of the Rawalpindi Test, both Pakistani pacers and spinners were tested in this series. It will happen, the big problem for PCB is how to make the pitches, if you make fast pitches, your batsmen will struggle, if you don’t have high quality spinners, there will be no benefit of making spin pitches, England’s batting is very strong, dead. There will be piles of runs on the pitches, well we should have positive hopes, although the worst defeat against Bangladesh had a negative impact on the morale of the players, but it does not mean that they will not be able to perform well against England, this series. They have a big challenge in case of Champions Trophy is around the corner, if we want more fans to stay away from cricket then the team has to get victories, in that case even during the important event people will come to watch the stadium matches, the players should fight to win the series against England.
