Pakistan suffered an embarrassing 360-run defeat in their first Test match against Australia. After the loss, the players came under heavy criticism as the Shan Masood-led team stumbled for just 89 runs in the second half.
In the latest events, former Pakistani cricketer Bazid Khan revealed shocking details about first-class cricket in Pakistan. Criticizing the performances of players in red-ball cricket, Khan suggested a strange rule limiting teams to bat for only 80 overs in the first innings in first-class matches.
“Yes, we haven’t won a Test in Australia for 28 years. Well, there’s a new drama in first-class cricket in Pakistan. It’s being worked at the back door, as there’s no mention of playing conditions on the site. The rule is you can only play 80 overs “In the first innings. They have restricted batting in first-class cricket. What kind of rule is that?”
“With this rule, players don’t know when to take the new ball, and players don’t learn how to take wickets.” Here is the video of Baazid Khan attacking Pakistan cricket.
Pakistan will next face Australia on December 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
