RAWALPINDI: England has announced their spinner-abundant playing XI for the third and series decider Test against Pakistan, scheduled to start on October 24 (Thursday) at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The team’s selection panel confirms two changes from the second Test in Multan, in which visitors suffered a 152-run defeat.
Jack Leach and Shoain Bashir will be joined by leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, who will join the team in the middle for the first time since the Test match against India in Rajkot in February this year.
Pacer Gus Atkinson will return to the team after being dropped for the second Test, while, Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts will both miss the series decider.
Pakistan’s duo-spinners, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, guided Pakistan to a huge remarkable win in the last match, leveling the three-match series at 1-1. Chasing 297 for victory on a turning track at the Multan Cricket Stadium, England were all out for 144 in the fourth day’s morning session.
