Pakistan lost the first Test at home against Bangladesh by a huge margin of 10 wickets. The second Test will start from Friday in Rawalpindi. Before this Test, three cricketers joined the Pakistan team on Wednesday. They are Abrar Ahmed, Kamran Golam and Amer Jamal.
Abrar and Kamran played four-day matches against Bangladesh ‘A’ team. Because of that, they were left out of the squad for the first Test. But due to their good performance in the four-day match, they have been included in the second Test team. Meanwhile, Amer Jamal was released to work on fitness. He has been working on his fitness at the National Cricket Academy for a long time. He has also been added to the team before the second Test. Basically whether he plays against Bangladesh on Friday depends on the fitness test.
Besides, Shaheen Afridi was given leave after the first test. Being a father, he joined the team again after paternity leave.
In front of Pakistan is the fight to avoid losing the series. Bangladesh has a chance to win the series against Pakistan for the first time. Undoubtedly, there will be a great fight in the second Test.
Pakistan squad for second Test against Bangladesh:
Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Amer Jamal (subject to fitness), Abrar Ahmed, Abdullah Shafiq, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper) , Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper) and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
