Pakistan at full strength, has begun preparations for Karachi Test

KARACHI: Pakistan had a full team out for a training session before the third Test against England on Thursday at the National Bank Cricket Arena.

This week, Pakistani players lost a Test series 2-0 in Multan. When they came here for the first training session in the city, they seemed pumped up.

The head coach, Saqlain Mushtaq, the batting coach, Mohammad Yousuf, the bowling coach, Shaun Tait, and other members of the coaching staff watched over Babar Azam’s training session.

Sarfaraz Ahmed was seen training hard with the gloves. He is likely to replace Mohammad Rizwan in the third Test.

On the other hand, England players had a training session that they did not have to attend. Ben Foakes, Jamie Overton, Joe Root, Ben Duckett, and Zak Crawley were all there, as well as Keaton Jennings.

Before the third and last test, both the team members and the coaches checked out the field.

In Multan, England won the Test series 2-0 by beating Pakistan by 26 runs. Pakistan is almost out of contention for the ICC Test Championship after losing the series.
