Pakistan Reinstates Players for Second Test vs. Bangladesh

Pakistan has made significant squad changes ahead of the second Test against Bangladesh, set to take place from August 30 to September 3 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Legspinner Abrar Ahmed and middle-order batsman Kamran Ghulam have been recalled after previously participating in a four-day match for Pakistan Shaheens. Shaheen Shah Afridi, who missed the first Test due to personal reasons, has also rejoined the squad to bolster the bowling attack. Aamer Jamal's inclusion remains uncertain as it is contingent on passing a fitness test after earlier concerns over his physical condition. The team looks to bounce back following their historic defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test, where spinners played a crucial role in their victory. The adjustments indicate Pakistan's strategy to strengthen both their spin and batting departments in response to the first Test loss.
