Pakistani Spin Duo Claims All 20 Wickets Against England in Historic Test Match
Multan-(Webdesk): Pakistan spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali have broken a 52-year-old record by claiming all 20 wickets in a match for the first time since 1972.
Despite not being the first picks for Pakistan’s playing XI in the red-ball series against England, Sajid and Noman leveraged their domestic experience to impress both fans and selectors. Their outstanding performance played a key role in ending Pakistan’s losing streak, securing a much-needed win after defeats against Australia and Bangladesh.

The reshuffling of the team yielded a successful result, bringing relief to captain Shan Masood, the coaching staff, and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The duo became only the second Pakistani pair to take all 20 wickets in a red-ball Test match, following in the footsteps of legends Fazal Mahmood and Khan Mohammad, who achieved this feat against Australia in 1956.
