London: Pakistan's cricket team, once a formidable force in international Test cricket, is facing a challenging period as it struggles to find success in the ICC World Test Championship. The team suffered a significant defeat by 194 runs against England at Lord's, marking their 10th loss in the last 11 away Tests. The recent defeats have left Pakistan at the bottom of the championship standings, raising concerns about their performance in the format.

According to the International Cricket Council, Pakistan's seamer Mohammad Abbas acknowledged the team's ongoing struggles and emphasized the need for improvement across all areas—batting, bowling, and fielding. "Our performance is a concern for everyone," Abbas stated, highlighting that the selection committee and the National Cricket Academy are also worried about the team's current form. He pointed out fielding as a critical area needing attention, citing dropped catches that allowed England's key players to score additional runs.

Despite Abbas's impressive individual performance at Lord's, where he took nine wickets and recorded his first five-for, the overall team performance remains a concern for him. He expressed frustration that his contributions have not translated into team victories. Abbas noted the lack of experience in Pakistan's bowling attack, which he believes has affected their performance, particularly in different international conditions.

With the Edgbaston Test set to begin on September 9, Pakistan aims to end their losing streak and secure a consolation win along with crucial WTC points. The series so far has seen England winning both the first Test in Leeds by an innings and 103 runs and the second Test at Lord's. The Pakistani team hopes to regroup and address their shortcomings as they look forward to the upcoming match in their ongoing series against England.
