Delhi: Pakistan cricket test team captain Shan Masood, who has not been able to win even a single test match under his captaincy till now, is once again ready for the challenge. The England team is on Pakistan tour and a three-match Test series will be played between the two teams. The first match will start from Monday, i.e. 7th October. Meanwhile, the hosts have announced their playing eleven a day before the match. In such a situation, the question arises whether Shan Masood will be able to achieve the first win under his captaincy or not.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been included in the playing eleven. At the same time, Naseem Shah and Aamir Jamal have got a chance along with Shaheen Shah Afridi in the fast bowling attack. Abrar Ahmed will play the main role in the spin department, while Salman Ali Aga will be seen as a part-time bowler. The team will take the field with five bowlers, which can prove risky for Pakistan.

How will Multan's pitch be?

At the same time, green grass is visible on the Multan pitch, which is likely to help the fast bowlers. This is the reason why Pakistan has selected three fast bowlers, who can challenge the batsmen of England. However, the England team has the experience of playing on such pitches, which can make the match more exciting.

This series is being played under the ICC World Test Championship. Pakistan's position is delicate in the points table, while England is struggling in the middle order.

Pakistan's playing eleven: Sam Ayub, Abdullah Shafiq, Shan Masood, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Aga, Aamir Jamal, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed.
