In the first test, England players performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 47 runs. Talking about Pakistan team, they batted very well in the first innings but the team’s bowlers failed to leave their mark in this match due to which a lot of pressure was put on the hosts. Not only this, the batsmen of Pakistan team also performed disappointingly in the second innings. Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has given his side regarding the performance of Pakistan team. He is unhappy with his team’s performance. Let us tell you that despite scoring 556 runs in the first innings, Pakistan had to face defeat in this match. According to Cricket Pakistan, Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘You will reap what you sow. In this period I have seen the decline of Pakistan cricket. It’s okay to lose but the game should be close. However, whatever we saw in the last two days, we have given up all hope from the team. England scored more than 800 and also Bangladesh beat you. Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship: Shoaib Akhtar The former player further said, ‘Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship. The ICC must be wondering whether we should send teams to Pakistan to keep the Test level alive? This is really heart breaking. This is very bad news for the cricket fans of Pakistan and also for the upcoming talented players. I would request the PCB to fix this thing as soon as possible. If your management and captain are weak then factionalism is seen there. If the captain is selfish then there is factionalism. Same is the case with coaches who are afraid of the captain. Captains give their views regarding selection and this has been going on since my playing days.

“We are very nice people”- Shoaib Malik requested Team India to come to Pakistan
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has urged the Indian cricket team to tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. In fact, there has been no bilateral series played between India and Pakistan since 2013 and the two teams have faced each other only in tournaments like ICC tournaments or Asia Cup since then. With the Champions Trophy 2025 scheduled to be held in Pakistan, the Indian cricket team will have to travel to the country to participate in the cricket event. However, given the turbulent political relations between the two countries, it is almost certain that the Indian team will not travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. At the same time, former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has requested the Indian team to come to Pakistan. We are good people- Shoaib Malik Malik reminded that the Pakistan team played in India in the ODI World Cup last year. Shoaib said that now India should come to us. Former all-rounder Shoaib told Cricket Pakistan, “Whatever differences there are between the two countries, that is a separate issue. It should be resolved separately. Politics should not come into sports. Last year the Pakistan team went to India and now this is a good opportunity for the Indian team as well. I think there are many players in the Indian team who have never played in Pakistan. So this will be a great opportunity for them. We are very nice people and we are very hospitable people. I am sure that the Indian team should definitely come.” PTI had recently reported that the schedule and format of the Champions Trophy were not discussed in the ICC’s annual meeting. The report said that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has left the task of convincing India to come to Pakistan for the tournament to the ICC. Now it will be interesting to see whether the Indian team goes to Pakistan for this tournament or the Champions Trophy is played in a hybrid model.
If Babar Azam has to get back to his best form, then he should…: Shoaib Malik put forth his point of view on the Pakistani captain
According to Shoaib Malik, Babar Azam should now step down from captaincy and focus completely on his batting. Babar Azam & Shoaib Malik (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The performance of Pakistan team captain Babar Azam has been very poor for some time now.

Let us tell you, in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan team failed to make it to the Super 8 under the captaincy of Babar Azam. Now former Pakistan batsman Shoaib Malik has given an important advice to Babar Azam. According to Shoaib Malik, Babar Azam should now step down from captaincy and focus completely on his batting. According to him, Babar Azam should understand that this was a bad time which is over now and even better days are yet to come. Shoaib Malik said during an interview with Cricket Pakistan, ‘There are ups and downs in life, especially when you are a cricketer from the subcontinent. Babar Azam should stay strong at this time. He should play as a player and step down from captaincy. This is my belief. Whenever Babar Azam plays as a player, he also performs tremendously for the team. But I believe that he should stay away from captaincy.’ Who should be appointed as Pakistan’s limited overs captain? Shoaib Malik believes that Fakhar Zaman should be given the captaincy of the Pakistan team in limited overs cricket. According to him, modern day cricket is being played at a very fast pace and Fakhar Zaman can play this role very well. Shoaib Malik further said, ‘If we talk about today’s aggressive cricket, then Fakhar Zaman should be given the captaincy of the limited overs team because he has the vision to lead the team.’ Let us tell you, Babar Azam was the highest run-scorer for Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

Stokes further said about the match- After this victory, we should not forget the kind of partnership Harry Brook and Joe Root made when the ball was moving a lot.

Now the last and third Test match of the series between the two teams will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham from July 26.

Shoaib Akhtar has said these things in a video on his YouTube channel, let’s see what he said- “Well done India, this is your World Cup now. You should win it and the World Cup should stay in the subcontinent. You should have won the last World Cup and you have to win this World Cup too. You deserve it 100 per cent. My support is with you. Rohit’s intentions are good and his conscience is clear that he deserves to lift the trophy.” “What a great win for India against Australia. They lost the World Cup which they should have won and they were going through depression. They lost the final to Australia and that depression turned into obsession. They wanted to hit back at Australia and that is what they did.” India has to take another revenge Team India had to face defeat against England in the semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2022. Team India’s performance was excellent in that edition too, but they could not reach the final. Rohit Sharma and the rest of the team will definitely be looking to take this revenge in this semi-final match. By defeating the defending champions England, their revenge will be complete and the way to the final will open.
