Yasir says Warne’s advice helped him rattle England

England’s chastened spin contingent will emerge from their series against Pakistan improved players, according to the man developing their eventual successors.

“Full credit to Pakistan when it mattered the most, they have done it”.

Shah’s got every reason to celebrate with a record like his?

“The England dressing room is a relaxed environment”.

Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik, who hung up his boots midway before the end of the third Test, is 67th in batting and 44th in bowling.

The eight runs scored between No3-No7 in the batting lineup was the lowest collective return by an English middle order for 120 years, and 18 of their past 25 Test matches have featured a batting collapse. Any true cricket aficionado would choose Test cricket over any other format within a blink of an eye.

“I think our biggest challenge is to play overseas”, added Misbah. Zulfiqar Ahmed, an offspinner, was the country’s first regular spinner and the first of his kind to win them a Test; 11 cheap wickets at the National Stadium in Karachi in 1955 brought Pakistan their first home Test win.

Only briefly, in the second innings of the first Test, did Pakistan’s batsmen have any significant difficulty against England’s spinners.

In victory, he said: “England are one of the top teams, the way they have been playing after winning the Ashes”. For a Test side which has hit its peak under the leadership of Misbah, this roster will certainly provide the ultimate challenge, along with an opportunity to top the ICC Test Rankings.

“I think that summed up the series”.

Misbah said he will take time before making a decision on retirement. Pakistan cricket is now on a high and well-placed to re-erect the magic of its celebrated past.

“If they’ve got to learn something from this tour, it’s about working out what they did well in those innings and doing it for longer the next time”.

“I think once you lose one or two wickets, it’s down to the next guy who comes in to actually say to himself ‘I know we’re trying to chase a few runs here, but just for the next half-an-hour or so, what have I actually got to do here to keep us in the game?'”

Having been denied a win in the first Test, it was a frustrating campaign for head coach Trevor Bayliss and his side ahead of their next Test series in South Africa.

The series win lifted Pakistan to number two in the Test rankings but Misbah said it will be how they perform on away tours which will make his team greater.

“I can’t fault the lads’ efforts”.

England were let down in the spin department in the third Test with Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid and Samit Patel throwing down something like 115 overs at the cost of 423 runs and came back with only seven wickets.
