Pakistan Recounts Squad for Second Test vs Bangladesh

Pakistan has recalled spinner Abrar Ahmed and middle-order batter Kamran Ghulam for the second Test against Bangladesh, commencing on August 30 in Rawalpindi. Their inclusion follows the team's historic first Test defeat to Bangladesh, where they fielded an all-pace attack that proved ineffective on a slow pitch, leading to a 10-wicket loss. Additionally, all-rounder Aamir Jamal has been reinstated but requires fitness clearance before participating. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed these adjustments after criticism over team selection strategies by former players. Shaheen Shah Afridi also rejoined the squad after attending the birth of his son. The team aims to bounce back against Bangladesh in the series decider after the disappointing first Test performance.
