RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday, confirmed that they will stick with the same Playing XI for the third Test against England, scheduled to run from October 24 to 28 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan will field the same line-up which crushed England by 152 runs in the second Test in Multan to level the three-match series.
The pitch in Rawalpindi is anticipated to favour spin bowlers, much like the conditions seen in Multan.
As a result, Pakistan will go with the same spin-heavy bowling attack, featuring Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, and Zahid Mahmood while Aamir Jamal will play as the sole pacer.
