After the disastrous tour of New Zealand and starting the year poorly with a defeat in the second test against New Zealand Pakistan has bounced back nicely this year. Credit should go to PCB for bringing in the changes like replacing Misbah ul Haq with Mohammad Wasim and his new team as head of selectors. Mohammad Wasim completely changed the team and that changes completely changed the fortunes of Pakistan cricket team.
After New Zealand tour, people in cricketing circles were saying that Pakistan can no longer win in test cricket. All that changed with Pakistan's magnificent performance at home defeating South Africa infact whitewashing South Africa 2-0 in the home series. This was Pakistan's first test series win since 2003 against South Africa. Fawad Alam and the inspired selection by Mohammad Wasim of Hasan Ali were the star performers of the test series against South Africa.
Pakistan then went on to win 2-1 in the twenty20 series against South Africa at home, then they defeated South Africa 2-1 in ODI s and 3-1 in the twenty 20 series against South Africa in their own conditions which is a remarkable feat and achievement by Pakistan. Pakistan has also defeated Zimbabwe in Twenty20 series 2-1 and looks set to whitewash Zimbabwe in the test series.
Babar Azam is a great gift for Pakistan cricket team not only as a batsman but as a captain as well. He really matches Virat Kohli in every aspect. I wish Pakistan cricket team best of luck for the remainder of the year 2021 after having a successful tour of Africa.
Alhamdulillah,
