Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Shah Afridi joined Pakistani fans in sending congratulatory messages to the national cricket team after their win over England.
The trio, Babar, Shaheen, and Naseem had been “rested” for the rest of the series after ending up on the losing side during the first Test.
Kamran Ghulam, Noman Ali, and Sajid Khan replaced star players Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah for the second Test, as the selection committee took a gamble, which paid off brilliantly.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Babar wrote, “Well done, team! Fantastic win. Proud of the effort and spirit” over a picture of Pakistan team celebrating.
Naseem chimed in with “What a sensational performance by the boys in Multan! Hats off to Sajid Khan and Noman Ali for absolutely stealing the show with a dream debut by Kamran Ghulam. Take a bow, gentleman. Congratulations to the fans, you deserve this! Let’s bring the same energy & support for the final game,”.
Shaheen, meanwhile, took to Instagram with his message.
“Fantastic win at home! Congratulations to Pakistan, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan were exceptional, along with a dream debut for Kamran Ghulam and a massive contribution from Salman Ali Agha. Keep it going, Inshallah!” he posted on his Instagram handle.
Babar, Shaheen, and Naseem will play no part in the third match which is set to take place in Rawalpindi from October 24th onwards but are expected to earn a recall for the upcoming series against Australia.
