Pakistan’s Test squad underwent an intensive two-hour fielding practice at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium as they prepare for their upcoming series against Bangladesh.
The session, led by head coach Jason Gillespie, focused on honing the players’ fielding skills so that they could be prepared for the grueling series ahead.
Key figures in the Pakistan team, including Test captain Shan Masood, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, were actively involved in the drills.
Other team members of the Pakistan team, such as Abrar Ahmed, Abdullah Shafiq, Salman Ali Agha, Khurram Shahzad, and Aamer Jamal, also participated.
However, eight players from the Test squad were absent from this practice session as they are slated to compete in a four-day match against Bangladesh A. This match is part of the Pakistan Shaheens’ fixtures and is set to begin on Tuesday.
Saud Shakeel will lead the Shaheens, with Kamran Ghulam, Mir Hamza, Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Huraira, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, and Sarfraz Ahmed also in the squad.
These players are expected to rejoin the Test squad after the four-day game concludes on August 16.
The Pakistan-Bangladesh Test series is set to kick off on August 21 in Rawalpindi, with the first Test running until August 25. The second Test will be held in Karachi from August 30 to September 3.
