Pakistan's Razaullah Debuts with Joe Root Wicket, Overcomes Passport Hurdle
Pakistan fast bowler Razaullah made a remarkable Test debut against England, dismissing captain Joe Root with his fourth delivery. At 21, Razaullah was selected for the England tour despite initially lacking a passport, prompting his coach to locate him in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for travel arrangements. His bowling, reaching speeds up to 90mph and resembling Waqar Younis's action, offered a bright spot for Pakistan amid a challenging series, where the team struggled with low scores.
