The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will conduct fitness tests for four national team players ahead of the second Test match against England, scheduled to begin in Multan on October 15.
Sources have reported that Kamran Ghulam, Zahid Mahmood, Imam-ul-Haq, and Nauman Ali have been called to Multan for these evaluations, which are expected to take place today.
Nauman and Zahid were released from the squad before the first Test due to not meeting the required fitness standards. Spinner Abrar Ahmed, who has been ruled out of the second Test, is currently receiving medical treatment in a hospital.
England triumphed over Pakistan in the first Test at Multan by an innings and 47 runs. Pakistan, starting the day at 152/6, were bowled out for 220. Salman Ali Agha top-scored with 63, while Jack Leach took 4 wickets for England. Aamir Jamal remained unbeaten on 55.
The second Test is crucial for Pakistan as they seek to level the series after the first Test defeat gave England a 1-0 lead.
