Salman Ali Agha is prepared to play as the "sole spinner" for Pakistan against Bangladesh

"I performed well when I played as a lone spinner in Australia," the spinner says.

Beginning on August 21 in Rawalpindi, the two-Test series against Bangladesh will feature Salman Ali Agha as the "sole spinner."

In order to target Bangladesh with all-pace tactics, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) earlier opted to release mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed from the first Test team.

Agha is the only consistent spinner on the team with Abrar out due to injury, and the all-round player is eager to contribute.

Salman stated at a news conference, "I have played as a lone spinner in Australia and did well there." "No pressure exists, and I'm prepared to take on the challenge.

"The Rawalpindi pitch appears to be greener and appears to favor fast bowlers more."

He went on to say that everyone on the squad supports one another as brothers and friends, which fosters a positive environment. "We have nothing to do with whatever is going on social media," he said.

Due to a back issue, all-round player Aamir Jamal was cut from the Bangladesh Test series team earlier today.

at the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023–25 cycle, the opening Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh will take place at Rawalpindi on August 21.

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 ...
