The Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is set to commence on August 21 in Rawalpindi, with the first match scheduled to conclude on August 25.

According to sources, the pitch at Pindi Stadium will likely favor fast bowlers. Pakistan is likely to field four fast bowlers for the first Test due to the anticipated overcast conditions in Rawalpindi.

Sources reveal that Pakistan's bowling attack will include four pacers, with Agha Salman as the lone spinner. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Mir Hamza are confirmed selections, while the fourth pace option will be either Khurram Shehzad or Mohammad Ali.

The middle order for Pakistan will consist of Shan Masood, Babar Azam, and Saud Shakeel, batting at positions 3, 4, and 5, respectively.

Additionally, Mohammad Huraira is likely to make his Test debut, opening the innings alongside Abdullah Shafique.
