PAK vs ENG: Shoaib Malik opines to include Sarfaraz in Karachi Test

Veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik shared his opinion on Pakistan's playing XI after they lost the second Test to England by 26 runs in Multan on Monday. 

While reacting to the defeat, Malik opined that former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shan Masood should play in Karachi Test. 

"In my opinion, Pakistan should include Sarfaraz and Shan in the playing XI. Sarfaraz will bring much experience & Shan will help this team to have more stability. I hope our team will perform well in Karachi InshaAllah," he wrote. 

Sarfaraz last featured in a Test match back in 2019 against South Africa. Whereas, Shan played a Test match against New Zealand in 2021. 

England's victory

Saud Shakeel's maiden Test hundred dream was shattered by a controversial decision followed by Pakistan's loss from a winning position in the second Test in Multan on Tuesday.

Agha Salman struck Mark Wood for consecutive boundaries in an over after which Ollie Robinson targeted the last batter Mohammad Ali and bagged him successfully to hand England 26-run victory. The English side sealed the series 2-0, their first-ever in Pakistan after 2000-01.

Last time 17 years ago, Pakistan beat England 2-0 in three-match series.
