(Photo by Michael Steele-ICC/ICC via Getty Images) Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam has been struggling with poor form for some time. Due to this poor form, he was rested from the two Test matches against England. He played in the first test match, but could not do anything special with the bat. Meanwhile, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has advised Babar Azam to follow the footsteps of Virat Kohli. Let us tell you that Pakistan had to face defeat against England in the first Test match of the home Test series. After this, the host team won both the matches and won the series 2-1. Like Babar, Virat Kohli was also struggling with form in 2022, but 2023 was a great season for him. That’s why Ricky Ponting feels that Kohli can help Babar regain his form to some extent. Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 test innings. He said in the ICC review, the biggest challenge is how they bring Babar back into their team. They have to find a way to get Babar back into form and back into their (Test) team. Maybe Babar needs to step away for a while and stop even trying. Close the kit bag for a while and think about something else. Then hopefully he will come back refreshed. He further said that, you know, when you look at Babar’s statistics, it is somewhat similar to what we were talking about earlier for Virat Kohli. Virat took a break from the game for some time and returned refreshed. Babar also needs the same thing. Hopefully, we will again see Babar like before in his career. Let us tell you that Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 Test innings. Babar’s average in the last 9 Tests since the start of the 2023 season has been 20.70, which is very disappointing.

Pakistan cricket team and Rashid Latif (Image Credit- Twitter) Pakistan suffered a crushing defeat against Bangladesh in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi, which was their first defeat on home soil. The defeat proved to be humiliating for Pakistan as the hosts struggled on their home pitch. Reacting to this, former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif discussed the batting weaknesses of the Shan Masood-led side and pointed out the problems being faced by all the Pakistani batsmen, including star batsman Babar Azam. Rashid Latif sheds light on poor form and technical problems Rashid Latif said, “If there is a problem with the technique of the players, it becomes really difficult for them to come out of bad form. I have seen many players go through bad form, including Sachin Tendulkar. But Sachin had a good batting technique, so he never took time to recover from bad form. On the other hand, players like Virender Sehwag used to take more time to come out of bad form. This is the difference between a better player and a comparatively less skilled player.” Praise of Mehdi Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim Latif praised Bangladesh’s Mehdi Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim and said that Pakistani players should learn from them. He also praised India’s performance in which India defeated England 4-1 in the series despite losing the first Test at home. He said, “A lot can be learned from the way Mehdi Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim have played in this series. Pakistan’s batsmen are trying to play aggressive cricket. Test cricket is not played like this.” Return of Bangladesh After the defeat in the first Test, Pakistan put Bangladesh in trouble in the second Test by scoring 274 runs. Bangladesh were struggling at 26/6, but Liton Das’s brilliant century (138 runs) and his partnership with Mehdi Hasan Miraz took Bangladesh to 262 runs, giving Pakistan a slight lead. On the third day, Bangladesh bowlers performed well against Pakistan and dismissed Abdullah Shafiq and Khurram Shahzad to reduce Pakistan’s score to 9-2. Pakistan batsmen are once again facing a tough situation and they need to improve their batting so that they can perform better against Bangladesh.

Keeping things simple will be important: Ravindra Jadeja According to The Indian Express, Ravindra Jadeja said at the press conference in Rajkot: “When the England batsmen are playing aggressive shots, you can start thinking ‘Oh, where should I bowl now. Bowlers start thinking about the next step, but for me it is important to keep things simple and bowl as per the plan.” Jadeja further said, “England has an aggressive style. It was not easy for earlier teams to play aggressive cricket in India, but England has changed this perception. They sometimes wreak havoc, sometimes fail, but that’s their way of playing.” We have to keep Plan B ready: Ravindra Jadeja The Indian all-rounder also said that India as a team will have to have Plan B ready. Jadeja said, “If the first plan does not give results then we will have to come up with Plan B.” Let us tell you, the India vs England Test series is currently tied at 1-1.

I think it will be good for the batsmen in the beginning and then maybe it will gradually break down later on. Sometimes you get 36 wickets in 3 matches. Sometimes this doesn’t happen. It looks harsh to me right now, but hopefully it will be a good wicket.”

David Lloyd suggested England captain Ben Stokes that he should play with Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ego and put the off-spinners in front of him to force him to make wrong strokes. Should be taken off.

David Lloyd, in his column for the Daily Mail, wrote: “Yashaswi Jaiswal is a powerful player, but he has no weaknesses, so I would like to do something a little different by trying the left-arm spinner against him. I have to be consistent with the off-spinner with the new ball because you have to keep tempting him, then he will fall into the net. I would like to see England play with Jaiswal’s ego a little more.” ‘If Yashasvi Jaiswal is under control, India is under control’ The former England legend further added: “Shubman Gill performed well in the second Test and the Indian batsmen are capable of scoring big. England have faced the biggest problem so far with Yashasvi Jaiswal and hence their challenge should be to work out a plan to dismiss the leading run scorer of the series.”

That is Rahul Dravid. I don’t know if he’ll watch this broadcast or not, but go and hang out with Gil and do the same thing he talked to me about. Encourage him to hit the ball on the off-side, practice choosing better lengths and rotating the strike. Do things that will help him become a better player.” Former veteran cricketer Kevin Pietersen further said, “Shubman Gill is a quality player. I am not disappointed with how he got out. I am disappointed that he has not yet got that ability (to rotate the strike), but still he is a young man. Give him that ability; Give him that structure. If he rotates the strike and learns it from Rahul Dravid and if he takes him under his wing, then the world is his.” Let us tell you that, England In the first match of the ongoing five-match Test series against India, Shubman Gill was out in the first innings after scoring a total of 23 runs in 66 balls with the help of 2 fours.
