On Monday, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) declared complimentary entry for fans on the inaugural day of the forthcoming third Test match between Pakistan and England.

The series is now tied at 1-1, and the decisive third match will be from 24 October to 28 October at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The cricket board declared the decision via its social media platforms, adding, “FREE entry for fans to Premium Enclosures on the inaugural day of the third #PAKvENG Test in Rawalpindi.”

Pakistan experienced a humiliating defeat by an innings and 47 runs in the series opener; therefore, the home team implemented several changes, including the exclusion of their star batsman Babar Azam and premier fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Sarfaraz Ahmed and Naseem Shah were the other two significant players omitted from the national team’s roster for the remainder of the series.

Domestic player Kamran Ghulam made his anticipated debut, while spin spinners Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, and Zahid Mahmood returned to the Test squad.

The modifications yielded positive results, as Kamran achieved a century on his debut, while Sajid and Noman collectively took 20 wickets, leading Pakistan to their inaugural Test victory at home since February 2021.

Teams:

Pakistan: Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Haseebullah (wicketkeeper), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha, and Zahid Mehmood.

England: Ben Stokes (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes.
