This veteran cricketer was surprised by such a big victory over Pakistan, said something big. former cricketer surprise for England vs Pakistan 1st Test match in Multan

“As a team, you need to learn how to win away from home,” Hussain said on Sky Sports Cricket after the match ended. This is what the England team has done in Pakistan. They couldn't do it in India earlier this year. Next year against Australia, an Ashes series away from home and that's where a lot of England fans are desperate for a win.”

“The conditions will not be so bad in Australia, but they will be worse with the Dukes ball at Lord's in April. That's why players like Brayden Carse and Gus Atkinson are important. Atkinson still looked very strong on this pitch, which shows that after his success in England, he can leave his mark on pitches abroad as well.

He further said, “Also, your batsmen will also have to perform. In England, scoring 300 runs in the first innings usually wins you the match, but in Australia, scoring 300 runs usually wins you the match. You need to score big.”

Former captain Michael Atherton also expressed his surprise at the visiting team's win in Multan, although he criticized the lack of balance between bat and ball in the game. He said, “England's extraordinary performance and victory in Multan is fantastic. Pakistan has become the first team to lose by innings after scoring more than 500 runs in the first innings. How many test matches have we played?

“More than 2,500…there are not likely to be many ‘firsts’ in the match now. It was a shocking Test pitch, despite the fact that it got the result. The only purpose of stretching Test cricket for five days is that there should be changes in the pitch and there should be a balance between bat and ball.”

Regular captain Ben Stokes is likely to make a comeback in the second Test starting on October 15 in Multan. In such a situation, it is going to be interesting to see whose card will be removed from the playing-11.
