Ali last played for Pakistan in July 2023 © AFP
Pakistan have announced their squad for the first Test against England at home that sees the return of left-arm spinner Noman Ali and Aamer Jamal. Noman has played 15 Tests in total for Pakistan, picking 47 wickets. The 37-year-old veteran last played in July 2023. Khurram Shahzad's injury has paved the way for Aamer Jamal to return to the Pakistan squad. The fast-bowling allrounder, who has had issues with his back, was impressive on the Australian tour last year but hasn't played red-ball cricket post that. However, he recently made a comeback in the Champions Cup.
From the 17-man squad that was picked to play against Bangladesh recently, the selectors have left out Kamran Ghulam and Mohammad Ali. The selectors confirmed that both the players remain in their plans but in a statement, they pointed out that "due to the selection policy's emphasis on consistency and continuity, and the belief that 15 players are sufficient for a Test, they have been advised and encouraged to continue representing their teams in the Champions One-Day Cup and the President's Cup."
Squad: Shan Masood (C), Saud Shakeel (VC), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Naseem Shah, Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (WK), Shaheen Shah Afridi
The players picked for the series have been withdrawn from the Champions One-Day Cup playoffs in order to ensure they have sufficient rest before the Test series, under head coach Jason Gillespie's recommendation. "With a busy domestic and international cricket schedule, it makes sense to give our players some much-needed rest ahead of the Test series against England," Gillespie said. "We are very much looking forward to the series against England here in Pakistan and cannot wait for it to begin. We are excited about playing in front of our wonderful supporters."
The squad will assemble in Multan on September 30 with a training camp scheduled from October 1. The first Test is scheduled to commence from October 7.
