Discover the best three players of PAK vs ENG Test Series 2024 and their impressive performances. After losing the first Test by an innings and 47 runs, Pakistan made a strong comeback and won the series 2-1 against England. Led by Shan Masood, Pakistan dropped key players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah after the first game, but it didn’t affect their performance. They played much better cricket in the remaining matches.
England, however, struggled against Pakistan’s spin attack. Ben Stokes admitted after the third Test that they were not prepared for it and hoped to improve in the future. England started well with a triple century from Harry Brook and important knocks from Joe Root, but after that, things didn’t go in their favour.
Pakistan made the most of the conditions that suited them and, with strong replacements stepping up, they secured their first home Test series win since 2021.
Here’s a list of the top three players from the PAK vs ENG Test Series 2024:
3. Saud Shakeel
Pakistan vice-captain Saud Shakeel played a key innings of 134 runs in the third Test in Rawalpindi. At one point, Pakistan was in trouble, losing four wickets for just 99 runs. Shakeel steadied the innings and helped Pakistan reach 344 runs in the first innings, giving them a 77-run lead.
