Former England captain Michael Vaughan has delivered a scathing critique of Pakistan’s cricket team, calling them the worst Pakistan side he has ever seen in their history. Vaughan’s strong remarks followed Shan Masood and his team’s crushing defeat by an innings and 47 runs in the first Test against England in Multan.
Although Pakistan posted an impressive first-innings total of 556, they were overwhelmed by England’s dominance, allowing the visitors to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match home Test series.
In a has turned out to be a disastrous turn of events, the Pakistan cricket team set an unwanted record, becoming the first side in Test history to lose by an innings after scoring over 550 runs in the first innings. England’s response was remarkable, declaring at 823/7 with an impressive run rate of over five per over, completely dominating Pakistan in the first Test at Multan Cricket Stadium.
England’s disciplined bowling and clear strategy exposed the significant gap between the two teams. Despite the pitch initially appearing favorable, Pakistan collapsed in their second innings, managing only 220, which handed England an innings and 47-run victory.
This heavy defeat has raised serious questions about Pakistan’s selection and tactics, with Vaughan expressing his shock at their performance in Multan.
