ENG vs PAK: Teams Expected Playing 11 for Third Test, England Announce Changes

Pakistan and England will be going against each other for the third and final Test match of the series, which will take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. England started off the series with an impressive win in the first game, setting up historic records that Pakistani fans might never forget.

During the second test, Pakistan made some notable changes to their squad, resting players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah, as the team won the game by 152 runs. Sajid Khan and Noman Ali did a fantastic job, by taking up a great portion of England’s wickets in the game.

England has announced two new changes to their line-up for the last match against the final and deciding Test match against Pakistan. It has been announced by the team that Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse will be returning to the playing 11 of the team, as Rehan could help to strengthen the spin attack.

After making an impressive comeback in the second game, Pakistan is expected to bring the same line-up for the third match to end their series winless streak. However, it is expected that the team might bring some new debutants and remove some top players. Pakistan is likely to enter the final game with these players. Since Zahid Mahmood took no wickets in the previous game, he is expected to be dropped.
