After serious backlash from former cricketers, fans, and experts, the Pakistan selection committee has learned from their mistakes and has decided to recall Mohammad Abbas in the first-XI.
Pakistan faced serious challenges against Australia in the first match of the series in the bowling department, which has forced them to make this change.
Speaking ahead of the match tomorrow, Pakistan cricket team captain Azhar Ali said:
There will be some changes. Mohammad Abbas will be one of them. He is a seasoned FC campaigner, he’s done well in Tests and he can bring a lot of control.
He further revealed a shift in the batting order as well. Imam-ul-Haq is likely to open the innings with Shan Masood while Azhar Ali will drop to his old position.
He confirmed:
I will bat at number 3 in this Test match.
It remains to be seen what the final team will be but these changes will definitely improve Pakistan’s chances of winning the match.
Will make no difference, it will be an innings defeat for Pakistan in the 2nd Test as well, when you have a sleepy head as coach and chief selector, dont expect much from him even too from the Bowling Coach in Waqar Younis who was a failure as Head Coach in the Past. Fail to understand why Mickey Arthur and Azhar Mehmood was removed when they both did wonders with the Pakistan Team as Head Coach and Bowling Coach. PCB must sack Misbah, Waqar and Wasim Khan the Executive director of PCB immediately. Whatever one may say Najam Sethi did wonders with the Pakistan Cricket Team as PCB Chairman. Ehsan Mani is another sleep head character.
arey bhi ab toh dunya ka sab se bara leader hamare pm hai (sarcasm) ab toh merit hai cricket mein kiyon! hahaha
Just suck it up, one team has to lose for the other to win, similar Australian came to UAE and we smashed them hard, they struggle on our grounds and we do at theirs,
