Pakistan Eyeing Spin-friendly Rawalpindi Pitch To 'replicate Success,' Says Saud Shakeel
Saud Shakeel: As the third and final Test between Pakistan and England approaches, Pakistan’s intentions for the Rawalpindi pitch are clear. By taking extreme measures, such as using giant heaters and industrial fans to accelerate the drying process, the team hopes to defy Rawalpindi’s natural favouring of fast bowlers and turn it into a spinner-friendly surface—one that could prove decisive in the series.
Vice-captain Saud Shakeel noted that, unlike Multan, Rawalpindi is not naturally inclined to take turn. Shakeel explained the climatic differences between the cities, with Multan being warmer and more humid, factors that contribute to quicker wear and tear on the surface. The stakes are high for Pakistan, who are coming off a much-needed win in Multan on a spinning wicket. After victory in Multan, slipper Shan Masood, openly expressed his desire for a turning track, the team is focused on replicating the conditions that helped them level the series.
"If you look at the difference between Multan and Pindi, there's a difference in climate," Shakeel said in the press conference. "Multan is warmer than Pindi, Multan is warmer and more humid compared to Pindi. Pindi favours fast bowlers slightly and has more bounce, compared to Multan. The groundsman prepares according to that, and I think that's what causes the changes in the pitch.
