A new-look Pakistan team will be in action in the second Test against England after making wholesale changes in the squad after the defeat in the series opener. It was a radical move from Pakistan to leave out three of their first-choice all-format stars including Babar Azam, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi and they would hope that it brings results because the defeat last week wouldn't have been an easy pill to swallow for the PCB and the team management as well as the players.
Despite six losses in all matches as captain, Shan Masood was able to retain his place having smashed 151 in the series opener, however, there will be a few notable changes in the playing XI. It was a shocker of a result after having scored 556 in the first innings for Pakistan and if the second Test does take place on the pitch, both teams will hope for some more assistance for the bowlers and hopefully a positive result for the hosts.
