Pakistan has announced their 15-man squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies. The Men in Green have had to make one forced change as opener, Saim Ayub was ruled out of the series due to an ankle injury.
There are plenty of other changes to the squad as well with Mohammad Abbas, Aamer Jamal and Naseem Shah all rested for the two-match series. In the absence of these fast bowlers, the selection committee has opted to recall Mohammad Ali to the squad while Kashif Ali has received a call-up to the Test squad for the first time.
The squad also sees the return of Imam-ul-Haq who is likely to replace Saim Ayub up top while Mohammad Hurraira is also called up to the squad once again. In a surprising move, Rohail Nazir, former U19 captain, has been handed a call-up to after Haseebullah suffered an injury to his hand, which subsequently ruled him out of action.
Sajid Khan, Noman Ali and Abrar Ahmed will lead the spin attack for Pakistan while Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Kamran Ghulam, Shan Masood and Mohammad Rizwan will forge the spine of the batting unit.
