Pakistan National Cricket Team Has Made Significant Strides Despite Political Unstability The Pakistan national cricket team continues to make strides internationally, ranking fourth for Tests and eighth in ODIs; its women’s national team has also seen great strides, winning multiple tournaments despite limited resources and fixtures.
Saim Ayub
Ayub has been an established member of Pakistan National Cricket Team since 2024. A left-handed opener, Ayub has scored several runs for his nation and is seen as one of its bright prospects. After beginning his career playing tape ball cricket in Karachi he was identified by team management during an Under-19 Tournament as being exceptional bowler taking over 25 wickets over two seasons of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy competitions.
However, in the T20I series he has struggled to score big and been dismissed for duck on multiple occasions, denting his reputation and hindering Pakistan’s progress as they often find themselves having to bat first without him and score huge totals.
Saim Ayub was born May 24th 2002, and quickly developed an unwavering commitment to cricket as he grew up. A promising young cricketer with an indomitable spirit and bright future ahead of him. Many believe he will become one of the greats. Already making his debut for Pakistan national cricket team and participating regularly in T20I series matches.
Shaheen Shah Afridi
Shaheen Shah Afridi is a member of Pakistan’s national cricket team. With his immense potential to become one of cricket’s superstars, many Pakistani fans find his name inspiring and exciting. Boasting a tall, gangling frame capable of bowling very fast deliveries as well as hitting hard with bat, Shaheen is youngest among seven siblings hailing from Landi Kotal tribe of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
Pakistan struggled to find consistency during the 2025 ICC World Cup, finishing third in their group and failing to qualify for a semi-final spot. Their defeat against India brought up questions regarding Pakistan’s future; however, victories over Oman and New Zealand demonstrated that they remain an impressive team.
In 2019, Pakistan visited Australia and New Zealand for two- and three-match Test series respectively, where they triumphed over South Africa by an innings and 51 runs thanks to Fazal Mahmood’s exceptional showing and then whitewashed Sri Lanka in UAE despite some poor performances from their side. Pakistan continue to remain one of the most exciting teams in international cricket despite recent missteps.
Mohammad Nawaz
Mohammad Nawaz is an outstanding all-rounder for Pakistan, capable of bowling tight overs and contributing valuable runs to his team. As part of Quetta Gladiators in Pakistan Super League, he quickly made headlines. Today, Mohammad is an integral member of Pakistan’s national cricket squad and looks to continue excelling into his future career goals.
Pakistan national cricket team has an illustrious history. Boared Azam is considered one of the finest batsman in world cricket while Shaheen Shah Afridi boasts a high ODI/T20 bowling average. Yet their history also contains moments of difficulty; most recently in 2010 when their captain was suspended over allegations of spot-fixing scandal.
Since then, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has experienced difficulties maintaining consistency; losing several matches to top teams and falling down in rankings as a result. Furthermore, management issues have undermined team morale; corruption allegations at PCB have resulted in political turmoil, corruption charges against PCB officials, and even terrorist threats being used as excuses against PCB officials that negatively affected team morale. Still, fans remain fond of following Pakistan cricket; its rivalry with India being amongst the most exciting international contests!
Saif Hassan
Saif Hassan leads Pakistan’s lower order with cautious batting and running between wickets akin to Test cricket, as he did with Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz in Tests. Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz try to keep scoring moving but under Bangladesh’s tight control with variations, the pressure mounts quickly as Afridi attempts a lofted shot which Parvez Emon deftly intercepts for an incredible reverse-cup catch; soon afterwards Nawaz departs too.
Bangladesh’s pace attack excels on pitches offering low bounce and turn, taking early wickets to put batsmen off-balance and put pressure on their opposition batsmen. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed in particular play key roles while Rishad Hossain takes full advantage of tacky conditions with speedy bowling and smart fielding techniques.
Pakistan-Bangladesh rivalry is one of the most heated in international cricket, with both teams having an intense history together. From Wasim Akram’s formidable swing to Tamim Iqbal’s gritty openers, both sides have engaged in an intense rivalry across all formats of play; from one day internationals (ODIs) to Test matches (2024 series win from Bangladesh to recent Test series victories for each side (Tigers versus Bears), with this clash between Tigers and Bears set to deliver yet another riveting encounter!
Parvez Emon
As one of Bangladesh cricket’s rising stars, Parvez Emon has become an inspiration to aspiring young athletes across Bangladesh. His journey from local clubs to international competition is proof of how dreams can come true with hard work and perseverance; moreover, his presence has revitalized team dynamics encouraging an innovative collaborative approach to success. With his unique skill set Emon is well on his way to becoming one of the biggest names in global cricket.
Emon’s performance in the first T20I between Bangladesh and UAE was nothing short of exceptional. From ball one, Emon attacked with unerring precision against UAE bowlers – scoring his century off just 53 balls! His fearless intent and ability to hit sixes has stirred tremendous excitement among cricket enthusiasts in Bangladesh and beyond.
Pakistan, who suffered disappointing Test performances throughout most of the 1970s and 80s, have made notable strides forward more recently. They won their inaugural ICC Champions Trophy in 2017 before reaching world No 1 status once more – the first time since 1988, for which they were presented with a special Test mace as recognition.
Nurul Hassan
Bangladesh are looking to build on their 2023 Asia Cup bronze medal victory and are familiar opponents in Pakistan, who they faced frequently during a 2024 series that saw both teams improve greatly.
Taskin Ahmed begins proceedings well for Bangladesh, bowling Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan backwards without scoring yet as his early movement targets early movement on the Dubai pitch. Farhan misses an attempted lofted shot to deep midwicket; Rishad Hossain at cover takes an outstanding catch from Farhan’s miss shot at deep midwicket.
Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Shaheen Shah Afridi both rotate the strike, picking up singles against an organized Pakistan attack. But Bangladesh’s lower order struggles against an aggressive pace attack from Pakistan.
With no chance to capitalise on a misfield in the final over, Taskin claimed his first wicket of the match: Saif Hassan managed a single but fell to Taskin with one miss of straight delivery ending his innings with duck. Haris Rauf also missed, his edge being caught at backward point by Mohammad Nawaz.
