Pakistan has decided to field an all-pace attack for the first Test against Bangladesh, dropping specialist spinner Abrar Ahmed from the squad. The decision comes as a surprise, but the team is confident in their fast bowling options, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Pakistan Shaheens pace bowlers Naseem Shah and Mir Hamza shone on the first day of their four-day first-class match against Bangladesh A, taking a combined six wickets to bowl out the visitors for just 122 runs. This victory sets the stage for Pakistan’s busy Test season, which includes nine matches, with Bangladesh set to play two World Test Championship matches in Rawalpindi.
