‘This Isn’t Multan’: Kamran Ghulam Takes One on the Chin From the Commentators
Pakistan Test Opener Faces Backlash After Poor Show Against England
Kamran Ghulam, the Pakistan Test opener, has come under fire from commentators for his poor performance in the ongoing series against England. The left-hander has managed just 63 runs in four innings, with a highest score of 29. His struggles have contributed to Pakistan's batting woes, as they have been bowled out for less than 200 in three of their four innings so far.
Harsh Words From Former Players
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik was particularly critical of Ghulam, saying that he "doesn't look like a Test batsman." Malik added that Ghulam's technique is "flawed" and that he is "not good enough to play at this level." Another former Pakistan captain, Rashid Latif, said that Ghulam is "out of his depth" and that he should be dropped from the team.
Fans Join the Chorus of Criticism
The criticism of Ghulam has not been limited to commentators. Fans have also taken to social media to express their disappointment with his performance. Many fans have called for Ghulam to be dropped from the team, while others have questioned his selection in the first place.
Ghulam Admits to Struggles
Ghulam has admitted to struggling for form in recent months. He said that he is "working hard to improve" and that he is "confident of coming good." However, he also acknowledged that he needs to "score runs" in order to keep his place in the team.
Pakistan's Batting Woes
Ghulam's struggles are just one part of a wider problem for Pakistan's batting lineup. The team has been heavily reliant on Babar Azam, who has scored over 400 runs in the series so far. However, the other batsmen have failed to contribute consistently, which has put pressure on Ghulam to score runs.
Conclusion
Kamran Ghulam is under pressure to perform after a poor run of form in the Test series against England. The left-hander has been criticized by commentators and fans alike, and he needs to score runs soon in order to keep his place in the team.
