Former Danish player Kaneria has brutally attacked the Pakistan cricket team after their loss to England in the first Test of the series in Multan. Kaneria was also very critical of Babar Azam, who failed in both innings of the Test match.
England defeated England by an innings and 47 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series. Pakistan scored 556 in their first innings after winning the toss and electing to bat first. Three Pakistan batsmen scored hundreds and it looked like the match was heading towards a draw.
However, England turned the tables with their Bazball approach and scored a mammoth 823-7 in their first innings. Joe Root and Harry Brook broke records by posting massive scores of 262 and 317 respectively.
Trailing by 267 runs, Pakistan’s batting line-up gave up in the second innings and were dramatically bowled out for 220. England’s bowlers were superb on a flat batting pitch and received enough help in the fourth-over bowling. fifth day.

Danish Kaneria destroys Pakistan
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Dane Kaneria declared the death of Pakistan cricket. He was extremely critical of the team and wondered about the skills of Pakistan’s bowlers who did not find any help at the wicket.
“Pakistan cricket team Aaj ka janaaza nikal gaya (Pakistan cricket team died today). I mean, what should I say? The way they have played cricket, either they should stop playing cricket or, If they want to play, they should bring young people.
“How long will we continue to lose like this? What kind of people are these? Almost 850 (823/7) runs were conceded,” Kaneria said.
“I feel like abusing you. We also opened the series at home with Pakistan and we have bowled on dead wickets. Where has our reverse swing gone, where has our keeper gone?” he added.
While the Pakistani bowlers did not find any help on the Multan pitch and conceded runs at 5.48 runs per over, the English bowlers were brilliant and extracted everything that was available from the surface. England showed the home team how to use those conditions to their advantage.
“Kab cricket khelna seekhega” – Denmark’s Kaneria questions Babar Azam
Denmark’s Kaneria did not stop here and even hit Babar Azam while questioning his batting. He claimed that the pitch was doing nothing, but Babar was still having problems. He even asked Babar when he learned to play.
“People talk about Babar Azam. Babar Azam Sahib, on a pitch where the ball does nothing, where you hit it. What are you doing brother? When will you learn to play cricket (on a pitch where the ball is? you don’t do anything). nothing, you’re dancing (embarrassingly) there,” Kaneria wondered.
“What are you doing brother? When will you learn to play cricket? And our people are making him a king. What kind of king is he?” he added.
