Pakistan's cricket team has not won a series in SENA countries since 2018. The team's performance on the England tour has been disappointing, losing two consecutive matches. Mohammad Abbas admitted the team's flaws.
Winning on foreign soil, especially in SENA countries, is becoming a distant dream for the Pakistan cricket team. The team's disappointing performance continues, and currently, on the England tour, the team is facing the threat of a clean sweep.
The situation is such that when Pakistan toured England in 2018, the 2-match series was drawn 1-1. That drawn series was Pakistan's last success in SENA countries in the last 8 years.
The statistics reveal the poor state of Pakistan cricket. Since 2018, Pakistan has played a total of 18 Test matches in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia).
In these 18 matches, the team has faced a crushing defeat in 16. During this period, they managed to win only one match, while one match ended in a draw.
Fast bowler Mohammad Abbas has broken his silence on the team's shameful performance on the current England tour. He also revealed the discussions that take place in team meetings.
Abbas admitted that the team is not performing well. He said, "We are not playing well, we accept that. Our batting, bowling, or fielding is not good, and we always discuss these problems in our meetings."
In this series, Pakistan's batting has completely failed. The team has not been able to cross the 200-run mark even once in the four innings played so far, which raises serious questions about the team's batting depth.
Although the bowlers delivered good spells on several occasions, the team seems far from victory due to the batsmen constantly giving up.
Following the continuous poor performance, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a big and strict decision. The board has sent 7 players back home mid-series.
In their place, 2 capped and 5 uncapped players have been included in the team. The team is scheduled to play the third and final Test match of the series from September 9th.
Considering Pakistan's current form, the team will enter the field in the third Test with the intention of avoiding defeat. The performance in the series so far has been as follows:
This is Pakistan's 5th defeat in the last 6 Test matches played in England, which highlights the team's struggle.
