Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Match Preview
Pakistan begin a new World Test Championship assignment with a substantially changed squad. Babar Azam continues as captain, while Saud Shakeel, Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Abbas provide experience around several players seeking their first Test appearance.
Aamir Jamal has returned to strengthen the pace-bowling and lower-order options. Ali Shabbir, Muhammad Tayyab Arif and Saqib Khan were added after the practice match, while Ali Usman and Abdullah Fazal were released from the original group.
Sri Lanka arrive with an experienced core featuring Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis and Prabath Jayasuriya. Their 142-run warm-up victory should help them adjust to local conditions, but Pakistan’s familiarity with Rawalpindi remains an important factor.
