Pakistan Aims To Regroup As Bangladesh Prepares Strong Squad For Test Series
Pakistan’s Test team is going through a critical phase with a busy schedule ahead. Their recent results have been mixed, with just one win in their last five Test series, including a recent whitewash by Australia. Captain Shan Masood has admitted that the team is still struggling to find the right approach for home Test matches. Masood is now focused on developing strategies that align with Pakistan’s playing style and home conditions to improve their performance.
Bangladesh is gearing up for the series with a strong squad that includes five pacers. Taskin Ahmed will join the team for the second Test after recovering from a shoulder injury and focusing on white-ball cricket, which is expected to strengthen their pace attack. Experienced wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim is also back in the squad, replacing Shahadat Hossain, and his experience is expected to be crucial for the team’s performance.
The Bangladesh squad includes Najmul Hossain Shanto as captain, with players like Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, and Mushfiqur Rahim. Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Kumer Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Nahid Rana, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, and Syed Khaled Ahmed are also part of the team.
