Cricket fans in Pakistan have a reason to rejoice, as Mohammad Rizwan has created history in this ongoing first Test against Bangladesh. His marvelous display brought to an end a 15-year-long wait for a Pakistani wicketkeeper-batter to reach the milestone in Test cricket. The class act was Rizwan’s 171 runs not out. He became the first Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter to score 150 or more runs since Kamran Akmal did it in 2009. But it was more than a personal high; it was an important moment for Pakistani cricket.

Rizwan’s Historic Feat Ends 15-Year Wait for Pakistan

Bangladesh's bowlers delivered a remarkable performance, claiming five wickets in the morning session of the final day, leaving Pakistan at 108 for 6 in their second innings. With Mushfiqur Rahim's impressive 191 fueling their confidence, Bangladesh is on the verge of clinching an away Test victory, just nine runs shy of Pakistan's first innings total of 565. Pakistan's batting collapsed under pressure, with key players, including captain Babar Azam, falling to Bangladesh’s spin duo, Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. As the match progresses, Bangladesh now aims to secure a rare win while Pakistan seeks to break their home Test match losing streak.

Shakib Inspires Bangladesh with Five-Wicket Burst Against Pakistan

Naseem Shah has expressed frustration over the flat pitches in Pakistan, stating they are undermining the team's home advantage in Test cricket. In a disappointing recent Test, Pakistan allowed Bangladesh to dominate, with the visiting team making 565 runs over 167 overs, thwarting Pakistan's chances of a victory. Naseem, returning from injury, emphasized the need for Pakistan to reassess its pitch conditions and find ways to make them more conducive to fast bowling, noting the stark contrast to earlier years when pace helped the home side achieve success.

The first Test of Pakistan against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi got off on a most unexpected, daring, and highly contentious start. Just when Mohammad Rizwan was all geared up to notch a double hundred, the decision was taken by Pakistan captain Shan Masood to declare the innings, thereby keeping Rizwan 29 runs short of a personal milestone.

The group has secured key endorsements from some high ranking republicans with a notable array of former Trump White House officials, including Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye. The group also includes former Secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood, as well as former Governors Jim Edgar, Bill Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
