So the second match of this series has started today, Tuesday, October 15, at Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan. On the other hand, before the start of this match, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has given a big statement regarding the pitch curator. Basit says that the Pakistani pitch curator does not know how to make pitches because he is from Australia. It is noteworthy that the second test match is being played in Multan on the same pitch where a huge score of runs was seen in the first test match. The pitch was of no help to the bowlers at all. Pakistan had scored over 800 runs in the first innings, and secured a massive win on Asian soil by an innings and 47 runs against the hosts in the match. Basit Ali conducted pitch curator class Let us tell you that amidst the ongoing second Test match between Pakistan and England in Multan, Basit Ali said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – We thought in the first Test match that the ball would spin on the second day, but on the fifth day of the match. This did not happen even on the day, the curator is from Australia and has also been a part of the ICC, but he does not know how to prepare the pitch. Basit further said- Now the players will play on the same pitch, it is expected that the ball will spin. What’s the point of hiring a curator who doesn’t know how to make a pitch? This is a very important question, the whole world is making fun of us. Look at India, the pitch is prepared by the curators the way they want.

Now the second test between these two teams is starting from October 15 at the same venue. Let us tell you that in the first test match played between Pakistan and England, the pitch of Multan was heavily criticized. Recently, Pakistan’s assistant coach Azhar Mahmood revealed that he wanted to use the pitch well for the series against Bangladesh and England. According to ESPNcricinfo, Azhar Mahmood said, ‘We had a clear plan as to what kind of pitch we have to prepare for Bangladesh and also what pitch we have to play against England. Our thinking was that against Bangladesh the wicket would be helpful for the fast bowlers and against England there would be a spin pitch. We had told the curator that the ball should spin after the second day of play in the first Test match. But even on the fifth day the spinners did not get any help on the pitch. I hope to see a turn on the 9th day. You have to take 20 wickets. We were thinking how we can take this wicket. We thought that this pitch should be used in the best possible way and we can take 20 wickets against England only with the help of spin. The players who are coming here are all experienced: Azhar Mahmood Azhar Mahmood further said, ‘All the players who are coming here are experienced. All Pakistani players are experienced and have been playing first class cricket for a long time. He knows his home pitches and I don’t think there will be much pressure on him. Regarding Babar Azam’s drop in the second test, Pakistan’s assistant coach further said, ‘Babar Azam is our number one player in terms of technique and ability. Pakistan has a lot of cricket and that is why the selection committee has decided to rest Babar Azam. Pakistan also has to visit Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. We should use our situation in a great way. The reason we announced the team for one Test match was so that we could make all the changes. After this we are going to Australia to play white ball cricket. We know that Shaheen and other important players should be rested because after this we have to play cricket non-stop for 6 months.

‘It doesn’t matter what the pitch is, we have to find a way to win’ captain Shan Masood after the defeat to England

So the first match of this series ended with a crushing defeat of the host team by an innings and 47 runs. Although Pakistan had scored more than 500 runs in the first innings, they still had to face defeat in the match. This was the first match in Test cricket history, when a team scored 500 runs in the first innings, and had to face defeat. On the other hand, now after this defeat, a big statement of team captain Shan Masood has come out. Shan Masood gave a big statement Let us tell you that after losing the Multan Test match against England, Shan Masood said during the post match – When you score 556 runs on the board, it is very important to support it with 10 wickets and keep the game close. This is something we did not do. If we take those 10 wickets and keep England around their score, the 220 we scored on the fifth day becomes challenging for them. That is the key to success, we have to work on things as a team. Masood further said- I would like the team to improve, it does not matter what the pitch is, we have to find a way to win. England showed us the way in this Test, you have to give them huge credit. We are sad with the result, sad as a country, but the beauty of the game is that it always gives you another chance. We are all working hard, we are going to give our all and try to change this. Well, now it will be worth watching that when Masood and Company will play the second match against England at Multan Cricket Stadium from 15th October, how will it perform?

(Photo by ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images) The first Test match between Pakistan and England proved to be a great run-scoring affair, where runs were seen pouring from every direction. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first and scored a huge score of 556 runs on the flat pitch of Multan. But England took a step forward and made the Pakistani bowlers work hard on the basis of brilliant innings by Joe Root and Harry Brook. Root scored 262 runs, while Brook played a mammoth inning of 317 runs. England declared their innings at 823 runs on the fourth day, taking the total to more than 1500 runs in the first 10 sessions of the match. Amidst this thrilling game, former Pakistani cricketer Rameez Raja looked extremely unhappy with the quality of the pitch. He said that the bowlers did not get any help on this pitch and raised questions on the preparation of the pitch. Rameez Raja again angry about the pitch Speaking on TV coverage of the match, Rameez Raja expressed his sympathy for Pakistan’s bowling attack- “I am sure the bowlers will question the quality of this pitch because they bowled with full force, but nothing happened. You start questioning why such pitches were prepared and why we are playing on such pitches at home.” We had demanded a good cricket pitch: Shan Masood It is worth noting that, when Pakistan had earlier lost the series against Bangladesh 2–0, the criticism was at its peak. There was pressure on the team to perform well against England. During the toss in Multan, Pakistan captain Shan Masood admitted that he had asked for a flat pitch against England. Masood said during the toss, “We had asked for a good cricket wicket. There are good batsmen in both the teams. We were in a position to win but could not win the match from there, which has created some resentment among the team and the cricket fraternity. We want to get back to winning ways and hopefully these players can do that.”
