The second Test between Pakistan and Australia played in Karachi also ended in a draw. Earlier, the first match played in Rawalpindi was also a draw.
There were many such turning points in the Karachi Test where it was thought that one team between Australia and Pakistan would win the match, but it did not happen.
After two successive Test draws between Australia and Pakistan, several former cricketers have been criticizing the pitch and demanding a spin-friendly pitch from the Pakistan Cricket Board for the third Test to be played in Lahore.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, popularly known as Rawalpindi Express, has also criticized the pitches for the first two Tests.
Shoaib has also put PCB chairman Ramiz Raja’s class in his video on the YouTube channel. He said- Ramiz Raja says that he is a cricketer before being the PCB chief.
