When the first Test match between hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh is played in Rawalpindi from Wednesday, Pakistan will be without a spinner. The four fast bowlers against the Sri Lankan team are Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Ali and Khurram Shahzad.
The Pakistan Cricket Board invited controversy by announcing that spectators would not be allowed to enter the stadium as renovation work was going on in some parts of the stadium. Pakistan's batting will mainly depend on Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel. Babar has scored 776 runs in the last 10 Test matches at an average of 40.84. Shakeel has scored 967 runs in the last 10 matches at an average of 60.44. Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah will be important options in bowling.
This is former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie's first series as Pakistan's head coach. The second Test between the two teams will be played in Rawalpindi from August 30. The two players who will handle the spin attack in the Pakistan team are Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha. Abdullah Shafir and Sam Ayub will open and captain Shan Masood will bat at number three. Babar Azam will bat at number four and Upasukani Shakeel will bat at number five. Unfit Aamir Jamal has been released from the team. He has a back problem from which he has not been able to get rid of.
