Pakistan will get eight jobs; Big change in the bowling unit in the first test against Bangladesh!
The two-test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is scheduled to begin on August 21. The first match will be held in Rawalpindi from August 21 to 25. The second match will be held at the Karachi Cricket Stadium from August 30 to September 3.
But now reports have emerged that Pakistan will be without spinners in the first Test. Abrar Mohammad is the only specialist spinner in the Pakistan squad. Now the selectors are saying that the player will not play in the first test.
Leg-spinner Abrar and uncapped batsman Kamran Ghulam, who have been named in the 17-member Test squad, will play for the Pakistan Shaheens in the four-day match against Bangladesh A starting in Islamabad on Tuesday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board said the selectors felt the spinner needed some match practice ahead of the second Test, which starts in Karachi on August 30. Abrar and Ghulam will reunite with Pakistan’s Test squad ahead of the second Test.
However, the lack of spinners is likely to hurt the team. Pakistan will surely sweat it out against Bangladesh if they back the spinners of the pitch in Rawalpindi.
Salman Ali Agha is Pakistan’s only spin option in the first Test. The all-rounder has bowled well in Test matches since 2023. The star also managed to take crucial wickets for Pakistan.
Shaheen Shah Afridi along with fast bowling options like Naseem Shah, Muhammad Ali, Khurram Shehzad and Mir Hamza in the Test starting on Wednesday in Rawalpindi.
