A new star has emerged on the Pakistan cricket scene as Kamran Ghulam scored a magnificent century on his Test debut against England. The 29-year-old’s impressive knock has sparked discussions about the future of Babar Azam, Pakistan’s former captain.
Ghulam, who replaced Babar Azam in the playing XI, faced immense pressure to perform. However, he rose to the occasion, crafting a patient and composed innings. His century, which included nine fours and a six, showcased his skill and determination.
The right-handed batter’s impressive debut has raised questions about Babar Azam’s future in the Test team. The former captain has been struggling for form in recent matches, failing to score a half-century in his last 18 Test innings.
While Pakistan’s assistant coach, Azhar Mahmood, has clarified that Babar was not dropped but rather given a rest, Ghulam’s century performance has added another layer of complexity to the situation.
With the upcoming Test series against South Africa approaching, the selectors will face a difficult decision regarding the opening batting position. Ghulam’s impressive debut could see him cement his place in the team, while Babar Azam may have to fight for his spot.
As the Pakistan cricket team continues to evolve, the performances of Kamran Ghulam and Babar Azam will be closely watched in the coming months.
