Coach Razaullah embarked on a journey to his village to locate the 21-year-old fast bowler, Razaullah, who had been selected for the England series but was incommunicado and lacked a passport. This unusual selection process put the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in a challenging position, requiring them to undertake a frantic search operation to locate the young player.
Eventually, they managed to secure the necessary travel documents, allowing Razaullah to join the squad for the third Test at Edgbaston. Despite the haphazard selection procedure, Razaullah made an immediate impact with an impressive debut performance. The right-arm pacer showcased remarkable pace and an unconventional bowling action, dismissing England's Joe Root and claiming another wicket.
This remarkable start provided a glimmer of hope for the struggling Pakistani team, who had been bowled out for just 133 runs in their first innings, facing a daunting 23-run deficit against England.
