England started their Test leg of the Pakistan series on a wonderful note as they beat Pakistan on Pakistani soil for just the third time. In what was their first tour to Pakistan after 17 years, they beat Pakistan in a resounding win of 74 runs and won on a lifeless pitch at Rawalpindi.

After England’s historic win against Pakistan, Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has come down hard on Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Ramiz Raja who is the chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board. Kaneria, who has picked up 250 wickets for the Men in Green, slammed the Pakistan fast bowlers for not being able to extract reverse swing like the English bowlers. Ben Stokes made a bold declaration on day four and set Pakistan a target of 343 to win and Pakistan found themselves short.

Pura din wahi manjan chal raha hai - Danish Kaneria

 "Abhi hamari management ake baat karegi, Babar Azam baat karenge, PCB k head baat karenge 'acchi cricket kheli England ne, hume unse seekhna chaie. Toh seekho na. Kab seekhoge? Time Guzar jayega. (Now our management will talk, Babar Azam and PCB chief will say 'England played well, we should learn from them'. Then learn, when will you? It's already too late)," Kaneria said on his YouTube channel.

"They might blame Shaheen Afridi’s absence for the loss. If he’s not available, then dusre achar bechne aaye thhe? (Others came to sell pickles?) Where are the planning and strategy, where is the reverse swing?” He added. "We only talk about the revival of international cricket in Pakistan. Pura din wahi manjan chal raha hota hai (the same discussion continues the entire day). He also said that Pakistan should learn from England’s fearless approach in Test Cricket.

“Our management fears losses. They only say that the team has been doing good. We are the No. 1 team. How can the Asia Cup happen without us? etc., but we don’t check where our cricket is heading. He also criticised the pitch at Rawalpindi and called it a lifeless pitch.
