Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has voiced his deep disappointment with the national cricket team’s performance in the ongoing first Test match against England in Multan. As fans eagerly watched, the struggles of the team have raised serious concerns about their strategy and effectiveness on the field.
England’s Commanding Position
In a tweet, Hafeez did not hold back in expressing his views. He highlighted that, despite the conditions at Multan Stadium, the England team is in a commanding position. He stated, “England has more opportunities to win because of their superior game planning and strong intentions, regardless of the circumstances that are faced.” This sentiment resonates with many fans who fear that Pakistan’s inability to adapt may lead to yet another home ground defeat.

Dire Situation for Pakistan
Hafeez pointed out that if both teams batted for the same number of overs, England would likely score over 175 runs, placing Pakistan in a challenging position to secure a draw. Currently, the situation is dire for the home side, as they find themselves struggling at 152 runs with six wickets down. Key players like Shan Masood, Babar Azam, and Mohammad Rizwan have failed to make significant contributions, leaving Salman Ali Agha, who is on 41, as the last line of defense.
The Challenge Ahead
With England’s commanding lead of one hundred fifteen runs at stumps on the fourth day, following an announcement at a staggering 823 for 7, concerns are mounting. Joe Root and Harry Brook’s marvelous scores of 262 and 317, respectively, have set a frightening target for Pakistan. Hafeez’s criticisms highlight the urgent need for change in mindset and strategy because the team attempts to salvage their delight in this Test series. Fans are left wondering if Pakistan can rise to the occasion or if they’re destined for another disappointing outcome on domestic soil.
