After being whitewashed in the two-Test series against Bangladesh, Pakistan's loss in the first Test against England shook the cricketing landscape. In response, the Pakistan Cricket Board revamped its selection committee. As a result, Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah were rested for the next two Tests against England, while the spin duo of Noman Ali and Sajid Khan was brought into the squad for the second Test in Multan.
The newly formed selection committee, which includes Alim Dar, Aqib Javed, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, and Hasan Cheema, saw immediate success with their first decision, as shown by the outcome of the second Test in Multan. Today, Pakistan defeated England by 152 runs, leveling the series at 1-1. Noman and Sajid took all 20 English wickets across both innings. Following this impressive victory and the outstanding performance of the spinners, even the sidelined Babar and Afridi praised the Pakistan team, especially commending Noman and Sajid's remarkable efforts.
