Ep 447 - Leena Moin Aziz - Inside Pakistan Cricket - England v Pakistan

Test cricket returns on 19 August at Headingley, with England beginning a three Test series against Pakistan. In this episode, Leena Moin Aziz, Asia’s first female cricket commentator, joins us to look ahead to the series and provide her insight into the current state of Pakistan cricket. Leena looks at Pakistan’s key players, including returning Test captain Babar Azam and the key batters who will be important to Pakistan’s chances. We discuss opening bowler Mohammad Abbas, who has enjoyed plenty of success playing in England, while off spinner Sajid Khan is another player we hope to see feature in the series. Leena talks about Sajid’s performances and his flamboyant celebrations whenever he takes a wicket, as well as Pakistan’s hopes for the series and what England can expect. There’s plenty of discussion about England too, with Leena giving her thoughts on their Ashes defeat and the recent changes at the top of the Test team. And, as the first Test at Headingley approaches, Leena gives her prediction on how she thinks the series will go.   Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Spotify or on our YouTube channel.
