Pakistan gains a significant boost ahead of the second Bangladesh Test after losing the opening game as three players are added to the team.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has expanded their playing roster by three players for the August 30 second Test match against Bangladesh.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made changes to their playing roster for the August 30 start date of the second Test match against Bangladesh. At Rawalpindi Stadium in Rawalpindi, Shan Masood & Co. lost the first Test match against the visitors by a margin of 10 wickets. All of Pakistan's pacers started the first Test match, despite the fact that spinners claimed more wickets than pacers due to the pitch's supposed benefits for them.

Abrar Ahmed and Kamran Ghulam, who were released prior to the first Test, have now been restored to the squad by the PCB. In addition to them, Shaheen Shah Afridi, who left the team following the first Test match in order to spend time with his infant, has returned to the team for the second Test match.

Aamir Jamal, who was originally freed to concentrate on his fitness at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), has been called up to the team. However, Aamir's ability to take the second Test still depends on receiving a fitness clearance.

In the opening Test match, Bangladesh made history by beating the hosts, Pakistan, for the first time in the history of the longest format of the game. In the two series of Test matches, the visitors are now ahead 1-0.

Pakistan squad for the second Test against Bangladesh:

Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal (subject to fitness), Abrar Ahmed, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicket-keeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicket-keeper) and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Ihsanullah's inaccurate elbow diagnosis is noted by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is furious over how board members have handled the injury of young fast bowler Ihsanullah. Ihsan, 21, made a big impression with his pace in the Pakistan Super League last year. He then took part in two ODIs at home against New Zealand and three T20 matches against Afghanistan in Sharjah. But after the series against New Zealand, he suffered an elbow injury that kept him out of action for the Asia Cup and World Cup. Unfortunately for the youngster, his recovery has not yet been complete due to a misdiagnosis of his condition and a botched operation in Lahore. A top physician on the board's medical panel made the first diagnosis, according to a Press Trust of India article. As a result, time was lost trying to heal the patient without surgery. Following a failed surgery at a private hospital in Lahore, medical professionals at his PSL team, Multan Sultan, determined he needed to see a specialist in the UK. The PCB has n...

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
