Chief selector Mohammad Wasim has announced the 18-men squad for three-match Test series against England later in December.

Many players, including Hasan Ali, Yasir Shah, and Fawad Alam, are dropped from the national squad because of their poor performances in recent Test series.

Hasan Ali took five wickets in his last 4 Tests against Australia and Sri Lanka. During the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam trophy, Hasan took 11 wickets in 6 matches with an average of 41.09. 

Despite not being selected in the national squad, Hasan Ali congratulated his fellow players for their inclusion in the Test squad against England. He said that he will work hard to earn his spot in the Pakistan squad.

Shadab Khan praised Hasan's positive gesture as he lended his support to his teammates.

The three Tests are part of the ICC World Test Championship and are scheduled to be played in Rawalpindi (1-5 December), Multan (9-13 December) and Karachi (17-21 December).

It is to be noted that England last toured Pakistan for the Test series in 2005, which Pakistan won 2-0.
