According to reports, Pakistan is prepared to end the winning combination of Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, and Zahid Mahmood by benching one of its spinners in the last test match against England.
Pakistan will choose to use another fast bowling option, deviating from the custom that helped them tie the series against England in Multan, even if the Rawalpindi surface looks to be another turner.
Mohammad Ali is expected to replace Zahid Mahmood in the starting lineup. Ali walked right into the lineup after Mir Hamza, who was initially expected to replace Zahid, got injured the day before the game.
Even though the surface helped spinners, Zahid was unable to have a noticeable effect in the second test. He was not used by Shaan Masood in the second innings as his teammates Sajid and Noman led their team to a resounding victory. In the first innings, he bowled just six ineffective overs, giving up 27 runs.
The 36-year-old, who possesses a ton of cricketing potential but hasn’t made an impression in international cricket, has reached yet another low point.
As they attempt to win another series in Pakistan, England has adopted the strategy of Pakistan’s victory and added a third specialist spinner for the final test.
