Pakistan has made significant changes to its squad for the second Test against England, dropping out-of-form batsman Babar Azam and several other players. Selector Aaqib Javed announced the decision, citing the need to rest Babar Azam and other players after the team’s recent defeat. Azam, who has struggled to perform in recent Test matches, will be given a break in the hopes that he can regain his form.
The squad for the upcoming match includes three uncapped players and sees the potential debut of Kamran Ghulam at number four in the batting lineup. The changes come in the wake of Pakistan’s innings and 47-run defeat in the first Test, prompting the team to reevaluate its lineup and strategy.
