Babar Azam’s troubles increased, Kamran Ghulam did a big job as soon as he arrived
Kamran Ghulam Debut Test: Should this be called a coincidence or something else? As soon as Babar Azam is out of the Pakistani cricket team, the team seems to be back on track. The second test match between Pakistan and England has started from today in Multan. Meanwhile, Pakistani team is batting first. The start of the team was not good, but when Kamran Ghulam, playing in this match in place of Babar Azam, has shown an amazing game. The special thing is that while Babar Azam is such an experienced player, Kamran Ghulam is making his Test debut. In the very first match, Ghulam has shown that he is a better batsman by batting brilliantly amidst the England attack. Don’t know why the PCB selection committee had not noticed him till now.
Pakistani team had a very bad start
The Pakistani team, which won the toss and came to bat first in Multan today, did not have a good start. The team’s opener Abdullah Shafiq was out early after scoring only seven runs. After this, captain Shan Masood also could not do much and returned to the pavilion after scoring only three runs. After this, the second opening batsman Sam Ayub and debutant Kamran Ghulam took charge and worked to take the team forward.
Sam Ayub and Kamran Ghulam took over Pakistan
Pakistan’s first two wickets fell for only 19 runs, but after that Sam Ayub and Kamran Ghulam took over the team. Took the team score beyond 100 and then beyond 150. Both completed their respective half-centuries and then moved towards a century. Babar Azam has been playing for Pakistan at number four for the last several years. He had become a necessity for the team. But in the last 18 Test innings, leave aside big innings, he was not able to score even a half-century. After this, finally Pakistan dropped Babar Azam from the team.
Kamran’s numbers are excellent in demostic cricket
Kamran Ghulam may have made his Test debut now, but he has been performing brilliantly so far in domestic cricket. So far, Kamran has scored 4377 runs in first-class cricket by playing 59 matches. In this, his average is 49.17 and he has been batting at a strike rate of around 53. Even after such a brilliant first-class career, he was not able to play for the Pakistani team. Now at the age of 29, he has got a chance to play his first test match, in which he has dominated.
It will be difficult for Babar Azam to make a comeback now
Meanwhile, the big thing is that if Kamran Ghulam plays a big innings in this match and helps the team win, then the tension will increase for Babar Azam. At present, he is not the captain of his team not only in Test but also in any other format. Actually, it is being said that Babar Azam has not been dropped from the team, he has been given rest. But looking at his performance it is clear that he has been dropped. Now unless he shows better performance in the domestic tournament, his comeback does not seem to be coming anytime soon. Especially when the player who came in his place in the team has been successful in playing strong innings as soon as he came. It remains to be seen what decision the PCB takes regarding Babar Azam in the future.
