Pakistan cricket is undergoing a significant transformation spearheaded by Aaqib Javed, leading to a shift in strategy focused on maximizing spin-friendly surfaces. The selection panel, newly equipped with Aaqib's vision, decided to reuse a pitch after poor performance in the first Test against England, pivoting to prioritize spin options. This led to unconventional decisions, including the dropping of key players like Babar Azam and the recall of multiple spinners to exploit the conditions. As a result, Pakistan's approach highlights a concerted effort to secure 20 wickets, shifting the dynamics of their play in response to past failures.
