Pakistan will field an unchanged eleven for the decisive third Test against England at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, marking the first time under captain Shan Masood that the side has remained consistent across matches.
The move comes in the wake of Pakistan's resounding 152-run victory in the second Test in Multan, where their triple-spin attack outmanoeuvred England.
While there had been speculation about a possible change, especially after legspinner Zahid Mahmood bowled just six ineffective overs in Multan, the team's management, headed by Masood, decided to place their faith in the same lineup.
An injury to fast bowler Mir Hamza, Pakistan's preferred seamer option, further solidified the decision to stick with the current squad.
