In both of the first two Tests, Pakistan failed to hold their nerve in the batting department.<\/p>\n<p>The third and final Test of the series is scheduled to get underway on Saturday, December 17 at the National Stadium in Karachi. Imam admitted that despite being in strong positions in Rawalpindi and Multan, Pakistan failed to cash in on the opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Test matches in Rawalpindi and Multan were in our hands. Unfortunately, we were unable to execute our plans, which is disappointing. Pakistan is not losing because England are playing outstanding test cricket. We are losing because of our own mistakes,&#8221; Imam was quoted as saying in the pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n<p><iframe allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/64mo2Jo7L5vn9XX4RDc7mP?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), suggested Babar Azam to include T20 style players in the Test team.
