Will Be 'Miracle' If Pakistan Even Wins One Match Against England: Saeed Ajmal

Pakistan will return to international cricket with their tour to England slated to get underway from August 5. The tour will consist a three-Test series which concludes on August 25 followed by three-match T20I series which will run from 28th to 1st September. It will be second series straight for England after hosting the West Indies in a Test cricket.

Pakistan arrived in England for the tour last month. The side are also undergoing intra-squad matches to prepare themselves for the series’ against England. The first two-day match was played between July 5 and 6 while the second match took place between 11th and 12th. Sarfaraz Ahmed and Azhar Ali led the two teams for the warm-up games which is played to give a fair reflection about the form of the players.

However, former Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal made stinging remarks about the touring party. He said that the team consists of a lot of young players and it will be difficult for them to face England. Ajmal also claimed that if Pakistan wins even one match in the series it will be a miracle for them.

“[The] Pakistan team consists of young players, [the] England series will be difficult for them. It does not seem possible for Pakistan to win the series,” Ajmal was quoted as saying by Ary Sports.

“It would be a miracle, if Pakistan even wins one match. As a Pakistani, I pray that the national team performs well in the series,” he added.

Sarfaraz Ahmed was the captain of the Pakistan side the last time they toured England in 2018. The two-Test series ended in 1-1 draw that year.
