The England cricket team is getting ready to play Pakistan in a seven-match T20I series beginning on Tuesday. The players involved are Dawid Malan and Shan Masood. Here are some facts about the two sides. Malan is from England, while Shan is from Pakistan.
Dawid Malan
England cricketers Dawid Malan and Shan hold a media conference in Karachi to discuss the forthcoming seven-match T20I series against Pakistan. The series is set to begin in Lahore on September 20. Both players have played in the Pakistan Super League and are looking forward to playing in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
The two sides will play seven T20Is starting on Tuesday. The first T20I in the seven-match home series will start at 7:30 pm Pakistan Standard Time. Shan Masood will make his T20I debut in place of injured Fakhar Zaman. Haris Akhtar will be the stand-in wicket-keeper and could bat at No.3.
Shan lost his sister when he was young but he was able to overcome the heartbreak and focus on his career. He has since been called up to play for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup and a T20 series against England. After the loss of his sister, Shan understood the importance of life and began to enjoy cricket more.
Alex Hales is another player who is making waves in the international game. He scored 53 runs for England against Pakistan on Sunday and scored the winning run early in the 19th over. The batsmen have made the England team very difficult to bowl against. The pace bowlers struggled to contain the power hitting of Brad Salt with 13 fours and three sixes.
Shan Masood
Earlier this month, Shan Masood and Malan Masaod held media conferences in Karachi, Pakistan. The two players are going to take part in the seven-match T20I series against England. The first game is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, 20 September. The media can download audio and video files of the event.
Shan Masood, the younger brother of Malan Masood, was called up to the Pakistan cricket team after his sister passed away. After his sister’s death, Shan had an unstoppable run of form, and was eventually called up for the T20 World Cup and a T20 series against England. During the loss of his sister, Shan became more mature and took cricket more seriously.
Aside from playing in Test matches, Masood has also been a part of the Pakistan Super League for five seasons. In the T20 league, he has pushed himself up to the No. 3 and 4 positions and has scored plenty of runs. He also played in the National T20 Cup.
Earlier in the day, Malan and Duckett added 62 runs for the third wicket. Later, Malan and Brook made 107 runs for the fourth wicket. In the last five overs, England scored 60 runs. The match was a thriller, and England were the better team.
Harry Brook
Harry Brook is a key figure in Pakistan’s cricket team. His ability to get the ball to the boundary is a key factor in the side’s success. However, he is often under-recognized by fans. The England skipper has been a frequent visitor to the country since the beginning of the season and it is good to see him in such an important role. He is one of the few England players to attend a media conference in Pakistan.
Harry Brook and Ben Duckett have both scored their maiden Twenty20 half-centuries against Pakistan. England won the Twenty20 decider by 67 runs. Harry Brook’s unbeaten 46 runs from just 35 balls helped them win by 67 runs. Ben Duckett meanwhile scored 70 off 42 balls. Will Jacks made 40 in 22 balls and was the other England batsman to make a half-century.
Mohammad Hasnain bowls a good over for England. Ben Duckett flicks a length ball past mid-wicket. Harry Brook then slices a length delivery past mid-wicket for a single. The fielder dives to the left to stop the delivery.
Despite the batting stalemate, Brook is attempting to make a good impression on the local media by attending both Malan and Shan media conferences in Karachi. In fact, he is one of the few players who regularly attend these conferences in Pakistan. The media conferences in Pakistan are a great way for him to promote himself and his team.
In the first test, the team will be trying different batting lines. The middle order has been weakened by their batting line-up, with Babar and Rizwan batting at the top. The two openers will likely be batting together again in the second innings, with Brook batting in the middle. The batting line-up could change dramatically, so the hosts are expected to play with the batting order.
Iftikhar Ahmed
Iftikhar Ahmed, Malan and Shan have held media conferences in Karachi, Pakistan, to discuss the game. The match saw Pakistan reach a target of 170-runs, and the home side was well placed to chase it down. Shan Masood made a half-century in the first innings, while Iftikhar Ahmed made 31 off twenty-one balls. The other half-centuries were scored by Mohammad Rizwan and Ben Duckett. The hosts were struggling to make a stand and Pakistan were bowled out for just over eighteen runs. Babar and Iftikhar Ahmed were the only players to reach the century mark in the second innings, and Shan Masood was dismissed in the 19th over.
Shan Masood looked to be the answer to England’s short bowling, but fell early. He miscued a scoop off David Willey to get a catch from Chris Wood. It was clear that the English bowlers had a strong attack on Pakistan’s middle order. They then used a return catch to dismiss Haider Ali. Iftikhar Ahmed flickered briefly during his innings of 15, but fell while trying to cut Willey. He then fell to a backpoint catch from Malan.
The Pakistan cricket team has unveiled their 18-man squad for the T20I series against England. Opening batsman Fakhar Zaman has been dropped from the team. However, the team is confident enough in its players to achieve the target. Iftikhar Ahmed, Malan and Shan held media conferences in Karachi on Tuesday, and the trio is optimistic that their preparations have paid off.
England captain Moeen Ali has won the toss and has elected to bat against Pakistan. The tourists had won the first T20I in Karachi by six wickets. They have replaced Morgan with Jos Buttler and have made a few changes to their side, including the introduction of spinner Liam Dawson. If England lose the second T20I in Karachi, they will have a tough time qualifying for the World Cup, so they will need to get it right.
Mohammad Nawaz
Opposition leader Mohammad Nawaz has been holding media conferences in Karachi since his election. His stance against Prime Minister Imran Khan is based on his claims that the country’s economy was rigged by the military two years ago. His campaign against the prime minister has also tapped into discontent about the government’s handling of the economy.
Sharif faces charges of terrorism, attempted murder and hijacking, all of which can carry the death penalty. On the other hand, the military has also restricted the press’ access to Sharif and his family. He has been denied access to his son, his wife, and other close associates. The PCB will not comment on the sensitivity of the matter.
The first test will be played on March 4 in Rawalpindi. On Friday, Mohammad Rizwan and Shahid Aslam will join the team later. The rest of the team will start training tomorrow. Meanwhile, the England team will continue to train.
The media in Pakistan is also at risk of being attacked. This is why the government is working to protect journalists. This will make it easier for journalists to continue working. And the government will be more responsive to complaints about attacks on media workers. There is an increase in the number of such attacks, so the government needs to take action against those responsible.
The judiciary has a tough time protecting journalists in Pakistan. This is especially true in the country’s border areas. Local journalists in the North West Frontier Province have faced harassment and threats because of reporting on the activities of the Afghan Taliban movement. Moreover, local police have also been hostile to the press.
