Pakistan announce squad for first England Test

Pakistan on Tuesday announced the 16-man squad for the first Test against England.

The hosts are heading into the fixture on the back of a 2-1 Test series win against West Indies.

Pakistan, on the other hand, haven’t played an international game since February this year due to the coronavirus. They had a 1-0 lead in the two-match series against Bangladesh when it was halted halfway due to the pandemic.

Azhar A (c), Babar A (vc), Abid A, Asad S, Fawad A, Imam, Kashif B, M Abbas, M Rizwan, Naseem S, Sarfaraz A, Shadab K, Shaheen A, Shan M, Sohail K and Yasir S.#ENGvPAK pic.twitter.com/i3SaXeHoIC
