In the first Test match played at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan, England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs. In this match, all the players from England performed brilliantly and played an important role in the victory of their team. Pakistan players failed to show good performance in their own home.

After this defeat, Pakistan team is the only team in the history of the World Test Championship who has not yet won a Test match at home since 2022. Since 2022, Pakistan has played 11 Test matches at home, in all of which they have either lost or the host match ended in a draw against the opposition team.

Let us tell you that after 2022, Pakistan played a three-match Test series against Australia at home in which they had to face defeat 0-1. The first two matches ended in a draw while Australia won the third Test. After this, Pakistan played a Test series against England at home. England had clean swept the Test series. The Test series played against New Zealand ended in a draw while Bangladesh defeated Pakistan 2-0 at home.

Now Pakistan team has also suffered defeat in the first match of the three-match Test series against England. Many former players are unhappy with the performance of Pakistan team.
