Pakistan lost to Bangladesh in the first test at Rawalpindi by 10 wickets. This is a big blow for Pakistan's chances in the World Test Championship 2023-2025 making it almost impossible for them to reach the final of World test championship 2023-2025. Pakistan's selection was flawed in this test match especially in bowling as they selected 4 fast bowlers with no genuine spinner in the team. They should have played Abrar Ahmed instead of probably Mohammad Ali who is inexperienced at this level.
This was also Bangladesh's first test win in it's history against Pakistan. Pakistan cricket is at its lowest ebb at the moment and there seems no respite in the near future.
On the otherhand Pakistan has a lot of talent but they are not playing upto their full potential. They should also make sporting pitches when they know their main strength is fast bowling. Rawalpindi pitch for the first test pitch was a flat track hardly supporting the bowlers both fast and spin.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan has the potential to level the series if they play according to their strengths.
