Jos Buttler's persistent calf injury has thrown spanner in the works for England as far as picking the squad for the white-ball tour of West Indies is concerned. England have decided to add a couple of members from the Test squad to the white-ball side despite the jam-packed schedule.
Shoaib Bashir, the England spinner, who has taken to Test cricket like fish to water, spoke about his Pakistan heritage and ability to understand the Urdu language, which has helped him decipher what is being said from the opposite camp during the ongoing three-match Test series.
The third and final Test between Pakistan and England is scheduled to commence on October 24 in Rawalpindi. The visitors have announced the playing XI for the clash and made two changes even as the series is currently locked at 1-1.
The Three Lions have to play the fifth and final Test of the series with just two frontline spin options in the form of Shoaib Bashir and left-arm orthodox bowler Tom Hartley.
Rehan Ahmed has been named in the England Playing XI for the third Test against India in Rajkot. His participation was under some doubt over his visa issue. However, ahead of the Rajkot Test, Rehan's visa issues have been sorted.
The visa issues are not letting England cricket team breathe easy during the ongoing India tour. After Shoaib Bashir's visa delay, the leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed was stopped at the Rajkot airport due to his visa being a single-entry as England team arrived back in India from Abu Dhabi.
