Pakistan Names 14-Member Test Squad for Sri Lanka Series with Several Changes
Pakistan announced a 14-member Test squad for the upcoming two-match series against Sri Lanka, led by captain Babar Azam. Salman Ali Agha and Ali Usman were recalled after being sent home during the England tour, while Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, and Shan Masood were dropped amid ongoing investigations and selection decisions. Three uncapped players—Mohammad Taha, Mohammad Suleman, and Sameer Minhas—earned maiden call-ups based on strong domestic performances. The series will be played in Rawalpindi and Lahore in November as part of the World Test Championship.
