Pakistan Cricket Team Squad for England Test: Pakistan's team has been announced for the remaining two Test matches to be played against England. After the humiliating defeat in the first Test match, 4 big changes have been made in the team which has surprised everyone. Three former captains and a young pacer have been removed from Pakistan cricket.

The Pakistan cricket team has shown the way out to former Pakistan captain Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Sarfaraz Ahmed in the squad announced for the second and third Test matches. At the same time, Shan Masood has been given another chance to save the captaincy. Apart from Shan Masood, Saud Shakeel has retained the vice-captaincy. These four players have been replaced by Hasibullah, Mehran Mumtaz, Kamran Ghulam (all uncapped), fast bowler Mohammad Ali, and off-spinner Sajid Khan. Noman Ali and Zahid Mahmood, who were initially part of the original first Test squad but were later released, have also been included in the 16-player squad.

Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Hasibullah (wicketkeeper), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha and Zahid Mahmood.

Will Babar Azam return to domestic cricket?

After being ruled out of the second Test match, it remains to be seen whether Babar will make himself available for Faisalabad for the upcoming Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan's domestic first-class competition. He has not featured in this tournament for the last five years. Babar did not look confident even while batting and in the first Test against England, he could score only 35 runs in two innings. He has not scored any half-century in the last 18 innings and the pressure on him has increased as expected.
