The second Test match between Pakistan and West Indies is set to begin tomorrow 25 January in Multan, with reports suggesting a possible change in the Pakistan lineup.  

According to sources, Imam-ul-Haq is likely to be included in the playing XI, as the selection committee and team management are considering fielding an additional batter on the Multan pitch.  

If selected, Imam-ul-Haq will open the innings alongside Mohammad Huraira. To accommodate this change, fast bowler Khurram Shahzad is expected to be dropped from the squad.  

It is worth noting that Pakistan secured a commanding victory in the first Test of the two-match series, defeating West Indies by 127 runs on the third day of play.
