Pakistan will not be able to achieve success for long by playing on old pitches – Nasir Hussain
In the second match of the three-match Test series between Pakistan and England, the host team won by 152 runs, after which the series is now tied at 1-1. Let us tell you, the second Test between the two teams was played in Multan, where the first Test was played.
Meanwhile, former England player Nasir Hussain has warned the Pakistan cricket team. He said that Pakistan will not be able to achieve long-term success by playing on old pitches, where their spinners can overwhelm the opposition team.
Nasir Hussain gave a big statement after the match ended
After the end of the second Test match, Nasser Hussain while talking on Sky Sports said,
You can’t tell me that last week’s game was better than this week’s, you can’t tell me that if you’re local to this part of the world you can come in 40 degree heat and see 560 players playing against 800 players. Will see. You get to come and watch your team play and win on a pitch that offers something new.
Nasir Hussain further said,
This cannot be good for the future of cricket in Pakistan, to keep playing on the same surface. But they need to take a look at their surfaces, and if they find a winning formula – stick to it. Stay with this team, stay with these two spinners, stay with the batting lineup, stay with the selectors and the captain. Have some kind of continuity.
Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and chose to bat first in the second test. The pitch continued to deteriorate for the batsmen and England, who had to bat last, were unable to withstand the sustained pressure exerted by spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan. The English team was all out for 144 runs while chasing the target of 297 runs. All 20 wickets for England were taken by Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, as both benefited from the pitch conditions.
