Right-handed Fast bowler Haris Rauf and mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed are set to make their international debuts in the first test against England in Rawalpindi on 1 December 2022.

He was named the best bowler in his 2022-23 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, which ended in Lahore yesterday. In the first test, the green team all-rounder he is expected to have three.
Mohammad Nawaz, Fahim Ashraf and Salman Agah will start. Pakistan’s opening players are Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq.

Babar Azam (C), Mohammad Rizwan (VC), Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Abrar Ahmed
