England Selects Spin Trio for Third Test Against Pakistan

In preparation for the decisive third Test against Pakistan, England has opted for a spin-heavy lineup, recalling leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed alongside Shoaib Bashir and Jack Leach. This decision follows England's loss in the second Test, where Pakistan's spinners excelled, leading to a series tie at 1-1. The pitch in Rawalpindi is expected to favor spin, prompting England to drop seamers Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts, with Gus Atkinson as the sole pace option. Harry Brook has expressed confidence in the team's strategy, emphasizing the need to adapt to the anticipated conditions. Ahmed, who previously made an impressive debut in Pakistan, adds youthful vigor to the bowling attack, raising questions about his development since then. The match is set to commence on Thursday, with both teams aiming for victory in the series.
