**Rawalpindi, Pakistan** – Pakistan has secured a thrilling 2-1 Test series victory over England, ending a two-year drought of home series wins. The victory comes after a tumultuous series that saw Pakistan lose the opening Test by a large margin and face criticism for their performance.
Captain Shan Masood, who had previously endured six consecutive defeats in red-ball matches, led the team to a remarkable turnaround. The key to their success was the introduction of spin-friendly pitches and the recall of key players Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah for the final two tests.
The third and final Test concluded with a resounding 9-wicket victory for Pakistan, highlighting the team’s renewed strength and determination.
However, the series victory was overshadowed by a controversial incident involving former Pakistan captain, Ramiz Raja. During an interview with Masood, Raja questioned the captain’s leadership, seemingly neglecting to acknowledge the team’s recent success.
Looking ahead, Pakistan will now face a busy schedule. They will travel to South Africa in December for two Tests, followed by a home series against the West Indies in January 2025.
The team’s performance in the upcoming matches will be closely watched, particularly with the future of Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah in the Test team remaining uncertain.
