Pakistan cricket team had a mixed year in 2022 with success in white ball cricket and failure in test cricket.
In test cricket we were defeated by Australia 1-0 in March and by England 3-0 whitewash in December. We just managed to win one test match against Sri Lanka in Galle and that to thanks to Abdullah Shafique century. In test cricket our bowling lacked ability and experience which often left the batters chasing 300 runs plus target in their second innings whch they often failed to chase.
In white ball cricket Pakistan had a stellar year defeating Australia in ODI series 2-1 and reaching the finals of Asia Cup and World Cup Twenty20 in Twenty20 cricket. The superb form of Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan in batting led to Pakistan doing so well in Twenty20 and ODI cricket in the year 2022.
In the end I would like to say that had we selected experienced and deserving cricket players in test cricket especially in bowling then we would have done much better in test cricket in 2022. In twenty20 cricket had luck favoured us we would have won the title in Asia Cup and perhaps so even the World Cup 2022 held in Australia.
