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.

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.
