A two-match Test series will be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh from 21 August. Both the teams have already been announced for this series to be played under the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. But Pakistan has made a change before the start of the series. The first Test between the two teams will be played in Rawalpindi between 21 and 25 August. This match is going to be very special for Pakistan, because something like this will happen in this match which was seen 28 years ago.

This will happen only for the second time in 28 years

Pakistan has released spinner Abrar Ahmed from the team before the series so that he can play for the Pakistan A team.

In such a situation, now Pakistan will play without any specialist spinner in the first Test against Bangladesh to be played in Rawalpindi next week. Let us tell you, this will be the second time since September 1995 that Pakistan will play without a specialist spinner in a home Test. Earlier, Pakistan played without a spinner in the year 2019, that match was also played in Rawalpindi.

These fast bowlers will get a chance

Naseem Shah will be seen returning to Pakistan's Test team after a year.

Shaheen Afridi, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza and Mohammad Ali can be the rest of the fast bowlers in the team in the first Test. On the other hand, Aamir Jamal is unlikely to be available for the first Test. He is suffering from lower back pain. Mal had performed brilliantly in Australia and took 18 wickets, apart from this he also showed strength with the bat. Let us tell you, there is a threat of rain on all five days of the first Test of the series, in such a situation, fast bowlers can get more benefit from the pitch.
