Islamabad: The Pakistan Shaheens are poised to face Bangladesh ‘A’ in the second four-day cricket match on Tuesday, following a draw in the initial encounter. Both teams have made significant changes to their rosters in preparation for the next game at the Islamabad Club.

According to Pakistan Cricket Board, the Shaheens have introduced eight new players, and Bangladesh ‘A’ has also refreshed its squad with six additions. Kamran Ghulam, recently released from the Pakistan Test squad, will captain the Shaheens, taking the helm with fellow top-order batter Abrar Ahmed. The changes come after the departure of several players from both teams to fulfill national duties.

This match offers a vital opportunity for both teams to clinch the series, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 10:00 AM following a 9:30 AM toss. The teams have adapted their strategies and rosters to enhance their prospects, with the Shaheens aiming to leverage their familiarity with the local conditions and the Bangladesh ‘A’ team looking to capitalize on the experience gained during the first match.
