Pakistan all out for 133 in third Test vs England after squad changes

England's pacers cleaned up Pakistan in 34 overs after the visitors' top five batters failed to score double figures.

Razaullah, a 21-year-old fast bowler from Mardan, made history on his Test debut against England at Edgbaston. Despite having no passport when selected by Pakistan, he was tracked down from his village and flown to England in an urgent operation. Razaullah's remarkable journey to the Test stage began in November, when he made his debut for Peshawar in Pakistan's domestic first-class competition.

His breakthrough came under the watchful eye of Peshawar Region coach Abdul Rehman, who noticed his potential during an unofficial tournament in Quetta. Following his performance, Razaullah was invited to a PCB fast-bowling camp, where he was among 12 pacers selected to train at the National Cricket Academy. He was subsequently included in a squad overhaul following Pakistan's heavy defeats in the opening two Tests, earning a place in the playing XI despite having only four deliveries in his debut Test.
