Pakistan pick Yasir Shah, Mohammad Nawaz for first Sri Lanka Test

Yasir, 36, will play his first Test since August last year after recovering from a thumb injury, Pakistan said in a statement on the eve of the two-match series starting Saturday in Galle. Nawaz, a left-hand batsman who bowls left-arm spin, will return to the side after almost six years.

Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, have handed Salman Ali Agha his international debut after the all-rounder impressed in the country's domestic competition. The 28-year-old Agha is a batsman who bowls off-spin.
