Kamran Ghulam And Babar Azam
Kamran Ghulam On Babar Azam: Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam has not been performing well for some time. For this reason, he was shown the way out of the second and third Test matches against England. In his place, Kamran Ghulam, who has been performing well in domestic cricket for years, got a chance in the squad. Seeing his strong performance, he was also included in the playing eleven of the second test. Kamran grabbed this opportunity with both hands and played an excellent innings for the team.
Scored a century in the debut match itself
The Pakistani team has not had a good start in the second test match against England. When Pakistani team captain Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafiq could not play big innings. After this, Sam Ayub and debutant Kamran Ghulam made a big partnership. Ghulam played a patient inning of 118 runs off 224 balls and became the 13th Pakistani batsman to score a century on debut Test. It was because of him that Pakistan scored 259 runs for five wickets on the first day of the second test.
Said this for Babar Azam
Kamran Ghulam said after the match that it was disappointing to wait for almost four years to get a chance to play for Pakistan. I had a lot of passion and wanted to perform well whenever I got a chance. He said that I waited patiently because I knew I would get a chance. I think my years of hard work in domestic cricket have given me the skills to play on all types of pitches and against all types of bowlers. Ghulam admitted that it was not easy to replace a player of Babar’s stature. Yes, there was pressure to play in his (Babar’s) place but I think my desire to succeed took away that pressure.
Strong performance in domestic cricket
Kamran Ghulam has scored mountains of runs for Pakistan in domestic cricket. So far, he has scored a total of 4377 runs in 59 first class matches, which includes 16 centuries and 20 half-centuries. Apart from this, he has 3344 runs in his name in 94 List-A matches. Once he settles on the crease, it becomes difficult to get him out.
