Pehla Test shuru hone se sirf 2 din pehle Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) ne Sri Lanka ke khilaf home Test series ke liye squad mein bari tabdeeli kar di hai. Hafta, 7 November ko elaan kiye gaye faislay ke mutabiq 4 khiladi squad mein shamil kiye gaye hain — jin mein 3 ko pehli dafa Pakistan ki taraf se khelne ka mauqa mila hai — jabke 2 khiladiyon ko squad se bahar kar diya gaya hai.
Kaun Aaya, Kaun Gaya?
Squad mein shamil hone walon mein pace-bowling all-rounder Aamir Jamal ki wapsi sab se numaya hai. Un ke sath 3 naye chehre bhi aaye hain: batter Muhammad Tayyab Arif (19 saal), fast bowler Ali Shabbir (19 saal) aur seamer Saqib Khan. Teeno ne isi hafte Islamabad Club mein Sri Lanka ke khilaf 3-din ke warm-up match mein PCB Patron's XI ki taraf se khela tha — aur wahin unhon ne selectors ko mutasir kar ke apni jagah pakki kar li.
Doosri taraf Ali Usman aur Abdullah Fazal ko squad se release kar diya gaya hai. Abdullah Fazal ka bahar hona khaas tor par hairan-kun hai, kyunke un ka naam naye opening combination ke liye sab se aage liya ja raha tha. Ab lagta hai ke team management ne opening ke liye koi aur plan soch rakha hai.
16 Rukni Squad
Babar Azam kaptan ke tor par team ki qayadat karte rahenge. Mukammal squad ye hai: Babar Azam (kaptan), Aamir Jamal, Ali Shabbir, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Mohammad Abbas, Mohammad Ghazi Ghori (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Suleman, Mohammad Taha, Muhammad Tayyab Arif, Razaullah, Saad Baig (wicketkeeper), Salman Ali Agha, Sameer Minhas, Saqib Khan aur Saud Shakeel.
Series Ka Schedule
- Pehla Test: 9 se 13 November 2026 — Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi
- Doosra Test: 17 se 21 November 2026 — Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Dono Test ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle ka hissa hain.
Pakistan Ke Liye Ye Series Kyun Ahem Hai?
Pakistan ka 2026 mein Test record dardnaak raha hai — is saal khele gaye 7 Test matches mein se 6 mein haar, aur team World Test Championship table mein sab se neeche hai. Ghar par kheli ja rahi ye series hi wo mauqa hai jahan se wapsi ki kahani shuru ho sakti hai. Tri-nation ODI series ki jeet se team ke hoslay buland hain, aur ab naye khiladiyon ki aamad se dressing room mein taza josh bhi aa gaya hoga.
Sawal ye hai ke kya selectors in 3 debutants mein se kisi ko Rawalpindi mein seedha playing XI mein mauqa denge, ya pehle unhein bench par bitha kar waqt diya jayega? Aamir Jamal ki wapsi fast-bowling attack ko gehraai deti hai, aur pace-friendly pitches ki khabron ke sath ye tabdeeli aur bhi ahem lagti hai.
Aakhri Baat
Do din baad Rawalpindi mein pehli gaind par sab ki nazrein naye chehron par hongi. Kya ye tabdeeli Pakistan ki Test cricket mein wapsi ka aaghaz banegi, ya sirf aik aur koshish sabit hogi? Jawab 9 November se milega — aur Cricket Khabar aap ko har din ki report, score aur tajziya deta rahega.
