Pakistan national cricket team all-rounder Salman Agha produced a magical effort on the field during the first test against West Indies national cricket team. The first game of the series between the teams took place at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.
Pakistan national cricket team came up with the magical effort with the ball in the first test and completed the magnificent victory in the series opener. One of the major reasons behind the win was the contribution of the spinners, especially Sajid Khan and Noman Ali.
But it could not have been possible without the support of the players on the field. The Pakistan national cricket team were exceptional on the field as they took brilliant catches but the best came from all-rounder Salman Agha in the slips to remove Kevin Sinclair.
Abrar Ahmed bowled a brilliant leg break with an extra bounce off the off stump when the ball suddenly turned and took the shoulder of the bat. Kevin Sinclair went on the back foot to defend as the ball flew to the right of Salman Agha who was at slip.
Salman Agha went sideways and made an acrobatic throw with his outstretched right hand and the ball was blocked. He finished the crash and then went to pick her up, seeking the attention of his colleagues. Before celebrating in a unique way.

Man of the match should be Rizwan and Saud for first innings knocks as well as Masood – Sajid Khan
Sajid Khan, who won the man of the match for his performances, said that Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel deserved the award for the way they batted in tough conditions. He also spoke about his plans and said:
“Credit to Aaqib (Javed) bhai and management. Man of the match should be Rizwan and Saud for the knocks in the first innings and also Masood in the second. There was a good amount of turn in the pitch. I spoke to our bowling coach after the first innings – we conceded runs later in the spell. We slowed down even more in the second innings and controlled the runs better.
