Pakistan unveil playing XI for first Test against West Indies

Pakistan has announced its playing XI for the first Test against the West Indies, set to begin tomorrow in Multan.

Shan Masood will captain the team, which includes Saud Shakeel, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Sajid Khan, Nauman Ali, Khurram Shehzad, and Abrar Ahmed.

For this match, Pakistan will field three spinners and one fast bowler.

The team management and selection committee have opted for this combination, following a similar strategy that saw Pakistan defeat England by 152 runs in the second Test in Multan last October, when they also played with three spinners and one fast bowler.
