“Pakistan Captain Shan Masood: England’s 2022 Victory Redefined World Cricket”

Pakistan's captain, Shan Masood, has praised England's revolutionary approach to cricket, particularly highlighting the impact of their 'Bazball' tactics during their 2022 tour of Pakistan. Masood firmly believes that England's style of play has left a significant mark on the sport globally. During that series, England achieved a remarkable feat by winning 3-0 on pitches that were flat and in conditions that were unfamiliar to them. This victory is regarded as one of the team's greatest accomplishments, as they became the first, second, and third teams to score over 250 runs at an astonishing rate of more than 5.30 runs per over against Pakistan. Their performance peaked in the second innings of the first Test, where they scored 7.36 runs per over—a record that stood until India surpassed it with a score of 285 at 8.22 runs per over against Bangladesh last month. Brendon McCullum, England's coach, has also emphasized that while their approach may have undergone some refinement, the core philosophy of aggressive and entertaining cricket remains intact.
