Pakistan Coach Cites Cold Weather for Bowling Struggles in England Test Defeat
Pakistan bowling coach Umar Gul attributed his team's heavy defeat to England in the first Test at Headingley to the sudden cold and rainy weather, which affected the bowlers' performance and caused physical stiffness. Pakistan had recently played in warmer conditions in the West Indies and Croydon, making adaptation difficult. Gul expressed hope that the team would acclimatize ahead of the second Test at Lord's, where injured captain Babar Azam is set to return. England won the first Test by an innings and 103 runs.
