Before the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, which begins in Rawalpindi on August 30, middle-order Kamran Ghulam and spinner Abrar Ahmed have joined the national team.

The two players were cut from the Test team prior to the commencement of the first Test match, and they played for Pakistan Shaheens in a four-day encounter against Bangladesh “A” at the Islamabad Club on August 20–23.

In the evenly matched four-day match in Islamabad, Abrar claimed four wickets while Kamran amassed 34 runs.

Following his return from home, speed bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has also joined the team. Following the end of the first Test, Shaheen went home to visit his newborn son.

All-rounder Aamir Jamal has been recalled in the meanwhile after being cut from the team to train at the NCA. Aamir will still need to receive a fitness clearance before taking part in the second Test.

Following their first-ever loss to Bangladesh in the first Test of the two-match series, Pakistan will be hoping to recover in the second Test.

Many tactics were questioned after the loss, including declaring, attacking at all speeds, and failing to score runs in the second innings.

Pakistan was placed to bat first, and in the latter moments of the second day, they declared their first innings after amassing 448/6. After Mushfiqur Rahim’s epic 191-run knock, Bangladesh responded with a massive total of 565 before collapsing in the third session of the fourth day.

Before Pakistan’s batting order collapsed against Bangladesh’s spinners on the last day of play, the first Test was expected to end in a draw. Instead, the visitors were given a meager goal of 30 runs.
