Saud Shakeel is steadily turning into a bankable player for Pakistan in Test cricket and an evidence of the same was there for everyone to see on day two of the second Test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground on Friday, October 25.

The southpaw registered his fourth Test hundred on day two to help Pakistan make a strong comeback. Notably, Shakeel has become the first player from Pakistan to score 800 or more runs in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. 

Shakeel was behind Salman Ali Agha on the list of players with the most runs in the WTC 2023-25 cycle and his century on day two of the Test match helped him move past his teammate.

Salman has aggregated 744 runs in 10 games for Pakistan in the ongoing cycle with the help of two centuries and six half-centuries. 

Meanwhile, Shakeel played with supreme confidence and frustrated the English bowlers. He got out after scoring 134 runs off 223 balls with the help of five fours.
