The third Test against England in Rawalpindi on Thursday may see one alteration in Pakistan’s lineup. The selectors may replace leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood with Muhammad Ali. Sources said pacer’s reverse swing could give Pakistan an edge in the contest.
Muhammad Ali has bowled in the nets for two days with a full run-up under instructors. England picked the test match playing XI earlier in the day, making two changes from the second Test.
Pakistan tied the series 1-1 by winning the second Test at Multan Cricket Stadium. Noman Ali and Sajid Khan shared all 20 England wickets to win their first home match since 2021.
