Islamabad, Aug 27: Before the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, which is scheduled to start this Friday at the Rawalpindi Stadium, spinner Abrar Ahmed and middle-order batsman Kamran Ghulam have returned to the team.
Both players are now eligible for selection after missing out on previous action, which could boost the team as Pakistan looks to improve on its performance in the series.
There is still uncertainty regarding the form of the pitch for the next Test, with rumors circulating about the kind of surface that the Pakistan team management has asked for.
The contest may be significantly shaped by the pitch, especially with spinner Abrar Ahmed back in the mix and perhaps benefiting from a surface that is spin-friendly. The team’s optional training day is set for Tuesday, when some players are anticipated to work out at the Islamabad Club Ground.
Players can concentrate on particular aspects of their game during optional training sessions, while others may decide to take time off to rest and recover before the Test. As Pakistan seeks to gain a commanding lead in the series, the return of important players and possible tactical choices over the pitch give the second Test a sense of surprise.
