Pakistan cricket has only seen such a loss on their own ground once before. The red ball format has not been helping Pakistan for the past few years. No series has been won at home in the last three years. The men in green have not won an international title since winning the Champions Trophy in 2017.
However, despite such bad conditions, they did not have to face the shame of being whitewashed in front of their own supporters. Even if they did not win the series at home, they were not disappointed. Come and see that in 2022. Pakistan had to lose 3-0 in the 3-match series in front of England baseball.
This time Bangladesh gave them such a pain. Bangladesh beat Pakistan 2-0 in a two-match series tour of Pakistan as part of the Test Championship.
Pakistan's Test journey at home began with a 5-match Test series against India in the 1954-55 season. That series ended in a draw. In 1955-56, the team of Abdul Quader-Hanif Mohammad won the Test series at home for the first time by defeating New Zealand.
Pakistan has played 58 Test series at home, excluding the period of cricket exile. Among which they had at least one draw in the first 55 series. In the 56th series, there was a break in that continuity. Pakistan lost 3-0 in the 3-match series against England, the promoter of baseball.
The series against New Zealand was a draw. After that, in the series with Bangladesh again, Pakistan fans saw such a complete collapse of the team in the Test series on the country's soil.
The team saw another falling point in the series loss with Bangladesh. Shan Masood Babar Azmara is only the third team in the history of cricket to go without a win in 10 consecutive matches at home. Only Bangladesh and Zimbabwe have worse records at home.
Pakistan has lost to Bangladesh, England and Australia in the last 10 Tests at home. There are 4 draws along with 6 losses in total. The draws came in the series against Australia and New Zealand.
