Sarfaraz Ahmed Named Head Coach As Pakistan Announce Squad For Bangladesh Tests
ICC World Test Championship: Pakistan's have announced a 16-member squad for their upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. Captain Shan Masood will lead a refreshed team in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship cycle
Currently, Pakistan is in fifth place on the WTC table, with a 50 percent points tally. They aim to improve their standing against a Bangladesh side sitting in eighth place. This two-match series, starting May 8, also represents a shift in strategy as selectors have included four uncapped players in the squad.
Abdullah Fazal, Amad Butt, Azan Awais, and Ghazi Ghori have all received their first Test call-ups. Fazal and Awais, both left-handed batters, have earned this opportunity through consistent performances in domestic cricket. Butt brings valuable experience as a bowling all-rounder since his first-class debut in 2015. Wicketkeeper-batter Ghori also adds international exposure, as he recently made his ODI debut against Bangladesh.
