“I said to him, ‘Youre my dream wicket,'” the spinner told the media at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. ,”As soon as Joe Root came to bat, I told him I’ve played against your brother in England, but you are my dream wicket, so he started laughing. But that was my dream and most prized wicket today.”

Calling Root a “great cricketer”, Sajid said that he was happy to take the prized wicket. “Thank God that my performance was good in the second day’s game against England, will try to get England out early,” he remarked.

“In the beginning, I conceded runs, but I kept bowling in my way and got wickets”, he told members of the press.

In response to a question about missing a run-out while fielding, he said, “I was disappointed to miss a run-out, as I am a fielder, it should not have happened. Harry Brooke plays on the back foot, and I noted that. I bowled to him accordingly and dismissed him.”

He then went on to talk about his personal life: “I have been playing cricket from a young age; I work hard. I feel a passion when I play for Pakistan, I play for the star on the shirt. I played only in the final in the Champions Cup, then I went to play in the department. I kept myself fit and continued to practice even though I was not in the national team. I did not get a chance in the Bangladesh series, but now I have, and I have given my best. I will try to perform.”

Sajid Khan has taken seven wickets for 111 runs in the first innings of the second Test against England in Multan.

Pakistan has a 75-run lead in the second innings after the English team was bowled out for 291 runs.
