Rawalpindi: In preparation for the upcoming second Test match against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, scheduled from August 30 to September 3, 2024, Pakistan’s Test squad sees significant reintegration of key players, including Abrar Ahmed and Kamran Ghulam.

According to Pakistan Cricket Board, both Ahmed and Ghulam, who had played for Pakistan Shaheens in a four-day game against Bangladesh ‘A’ from August 20 to 23, have been recalled to the main squad following their earlier release before the first Test. Shaheen Shah Afridi, another notable player, has also rejoined the squad after being released at the end of the first Test.

Additionally, Aamir Jamal, who had been working on his fitness at the National Cricket Academy, has been called back to the squad, though his participation in the upcoming Test is contingent on passing a fitness test.

The current squad for the second Test includes Shan Masood as captain, Saud Shakeel as vice-captain, and features a mix of seasoned players and newcomers, ensuring a robust lineup for Pakistan as they face Bangladesh.
