Sajid Khan Shines in Pakistan’s Crucial Test Against England
Pakistani cricketer Sajid Khan has made a significant impact in the ongoing third Test match against England, which commenced on October 24, 2024. On the first day of the match, Khan delivered an outstanding performance, taking six wickets to put Pakistan in a strong position.
Khan, a 31-year-old right-arm offbreak bowler from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been a key figure in Pakistan’s spin attack. His bowling stats in Test cricket are impressive, with 34 wickets in 9 matches, including a best innings figure of 8/42 and a best match figure of 12/128.
In the current series, Pakistan has opted to retain an unchanged XI, banking on their three-pronged spin attack to capitalize on the turning pitch. This strategy seems to be paying off, thanks in large part to Khan’s efforts. His performance has been crucial as Pakistan aims to secure a rare series win against England.
Khan’s emotional interview after his second five-wicket haul in the series highlighted his dedication and the significance of this match for the Pakistani team. His contributions have been pivotal in setting up a competitive scenario for the remainder of the test.
