In the ongoing first Test match against Bangladesh, Azan Awais (debutant for Pakistan) played a crucial role by scoring an unbeaten 85 runs on Day 2, helping Pakistan reach 179 for 1 in response to Bangladesh's first innings total of 413. Imam-ul-Haq praised Awais's temperament and emphasized the importance of red-ball domestic cricket in honing skills. Awais, with 33 first-class matches and 10 centuries to his name, demonstrated remarkable composure despite facing a challenging bowling attack, particularly from Nahid Rana. Imam noted that although the pitch had lateral movement, it became easier to bat on after scoring a few runs. The day's play saw Pakistan recovering from a precarious position after Bangladesh had finished Day 1 with 301 for 4. Imam expressed optimism but reminded the team of the unpredictability of Test cricket, stating, 'Tomorrow is moving day and will decide where the Test match is going.'
