Pakistan again showed amazing form in the third ODI and won by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins is being criticized a lot because instead of preparing for the upcoming BGT, he went to watch a Coldplay concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney with his wife and on the other hand Australia lost in the series decider match. Former Australian player Michael Clarke says that if he had been in Cummins’ place, the media would have taken him to task. Michael Clarke said this about Pat Cummins and the Australian team Michael Clarke emphasized that there were 11 days from the last ODI against Pakistan to the first Test against India. Therefore, the players who were rested could play. Michael Clarke speaking on ESPNcricinfo I think the media would have completely torn me apart. I think I have said in the last few days how I felt about Test players not playing the last one day. I would have loved to see them play that game. There were 11 days from the last ODI to the first Test, so I thought they all could have played. If Cricket Australia wanted to rest the fast bowlers, I understand, but I’m sure the batsmen who were kept out could probably play.
PAK vs ENG: Our plan regarding pitch preparation for the Test series was completely clear: Azhar Mahmood

In the first Test match played between these two teams, England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs. Pakistan players failed to show tremendous performance in the first test. 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.
