“It was news to meI found out afterThe PCB decided it, so they’ll be able to explain betterThe PCB’s decision must have been taken after some thought processIt’s better if you ask them why,” Azam told the reporters ahead of the Edgbaston Test.
“The series is lost, but we have nothing to loseWe should play freely and believe in ourselves as a teamWe’ve practised a couple of days and explained things to the new boysAny young player who comes in is excited, and that excitement is visibleI believe that will be visible in the match, too,” Babar added.
Joe Root’s England have managed to get the job done without being brilliant in the first two TestsOpener Emilio Gay will be under pressure to retain his berth after failing to post a big score in the first two games.
“I think it’s very easy to say one team is excellent and one team is poorNormally it’s somewhere in the middleRegardless of what’s happened over the last two games, this week it’s a completely different proposition for us,” Root said in the pre-match press conference.
England have extended their dominance over Pakistan in the head-to-head record with 32 wins and 23 losses in 94 Tests between the two sides so far.
