Pakistan Becomes Second Team to Lose Test Series at home to All 10 Full Members

Bangladesh made history by defeating pakistan in the second Test at Rawalpindi, securing a 2-0 series sweep on Tuesday. Despite skepticism about their strength, bangladesh delivered a memorable performance, demonstrating their prowess and clinching a significant series win. This achievement marks Bangladesh’s third away series victory, following their first in 2009 against the west indies and a win over zimbabwe after an 11-year gap.

For pakistan, this loss signifies a troubling trend as they continue to struggle on home soil. The series win by bangladesh also represents the third-highest target successfully chased by a visiting team in Pakistan. bangladesh needed to chase down 185 runs on the final day, despite potential rain interruptions. They managed to secure victory, thanks to the composed performances of mushfiqur rahim and Shakib Al Hasan.

Concerns for pakistan Cricket

The ongoing difficulties highlight deep issues within pakistan cricket. There is a pressing need for a thorough evaluation of the entire cricketing setup, from board members and team management to players. Although pakistan showed promise during their tour of Australia, they have struggled significantly at home, demonstrating a lack of leadership and strategic direction.

The loss to bangladesh extends Pakistan's winless streak to ten home Tests, comprising six defeats and four draws. This represents the longest such run for any team in the current century, excluding only zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

Pakistan’s latest defeat also places them in an unfortunate position as the second team—after Bangladesh—to lose a Test series at home to all ten full-member nations. The persistent decline in performance reflects a growing crisis within pakistan cricket, underscoring the urgent need for reform and revitalization in the team and its management.
