The pakistan Cricket Board had dropped Babar Azam, shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah for the second and third Test matches against England. Meanwhile, Kamran Ghulam was included in the squad in place of Babar, who has made a lot of headlines by scoring a century on the first day of the second Test match. Kamran played an innings of 118 runs in his debut match and helped pakistan reach a score of 259 on the first day.
The pakistan team had once lost 2 wickets for 19 runs and captain Shan Masood could also score only 3 runs. In such a situation, Kamran Ghulam came to bat at the fourth position and he rescued the Pak team from a difficult situation by making a partnership of 149 runs with sam Ayub. By the time of stumps on the first day, Mohammad Rizwan was playing with 37 runs and Agha salman with 5 runs.
Babar Azam wishes
Babar Azam has posted on instagram and congratulated Kamran Ghulam on his century. He shared 2 pictures of Kamran's century celebration and wrote in the caption, "Well played, Kamran." Babar Azam played the first Test match against England, in which he was able to score a total of 35 runs in both innings. But Kamran, who came in his place, has staked a claim to replace Babar by scoring a century in his debut match itself.
Ghulam has become the second oldest player in pakistan cricket history to score a century in his debut Test match. He is the 116th player in the world to score a century in a debut Test match. Ghulam has had a brilliant first-class career, in which he has also scored 16 centuries and 20 half-centuries.
