PAK vs ENG: Babar Azam Replacement Kamran Ghulam Slams Century On His Debut Test: Kamran Ghulam, providentially introduced into the Pakistan Test side for the first time and standing in for Babar Azam, spectacularly made his test debut by scoring a century. During the match against England, Ghulam came in after the opening pair of his batting line-up had been dismissed cheaply.
With graceful strokes and an unwavering defense, his composed innings of his debut match helped to recover Pakistan from a difficult situation, building key stands with Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman. He is currently batting at a score worth 110 off a total of 208 deliveries, past 80 overs.
His hundred came at a time when almost every other batsman was finding it hard against the English seamers. Ghulam’s innings were crucial in allowing Pakistan to get back into the match and set a decent first-inning score. Such performance might create a dilemma in the management about the future selection of players, including Babar, who is injured and fighting for his place in the squad.
