After a defeat by an innings and 47 runs in the first Test, Pakistan bounced back remarkably and won the series 2-1 against England. The Shan Masood-led side dropped a few marquee cricketers like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah from the Test series after the first game but that didn’t impact them at all and eventually, Pakistan played much better cricket.

England, on the other hand, didn’t look ready to tackle the spin unit of Pakistan. Ben Stokes reflected upon that after the third Test and noted they were not ready for the challenge and expects the players to bounce back the next time. They started the series well with a triple century from Harry Brook and some crucial knocks from Joe Root but other than that, not a lot went in their favour.

Pakistan used the conditions well, which favoured them massively. On top of that, the replacements walked the talk and got the job done, helping Pakistan register their first home Test series win since 2021.

Shakeel took care of the business and put pressure on the visitors as Pakistan posted 344 runs in the first innings, taking a lead of 77 runs.

Shakeel also scored a half-century in the first Test in Multan. Overall, the 29-year-old has scored 280 runs in three games and finished as the top run-getter for Pakistan and the third-leading run-scorer of the series.
