Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Prediction

PAK vs BAN 2nd Test: A humiliating loss at home in the first test against Bangladesh would have left scars on the souls of the Pakistan Cricket Team but it is high time to make the series level and Pakistan would be fielding their best side to take on Bangladesh. This post predicts the Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test.

Pakistan were in unduly good condition even at the Stumps of DAY 3 but Musfiqur Rahim’s 191-run innings proved to be the game-changer. Bangladesh owned DAY 4 and DAY 5 and it seemed Pakistani Players were startled by the unplanned actions.

The batting department of Pakistan was quite up to the mark if Babar Azam can a bit of form back, but the concern is bowling. We have often seen Pakistan not having a good bowling all-rounder, and then a part-time bowler comes in, giving some time to the batting team to recover.

Covering all those points, here is our prediction of Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:

Strongest Pakistan Playing11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Prediction

Saim Ayub is a future star and he along with Abdullah Shafique is a pretty decent combination that Pakistan have in the squad. Now, here comes the concern; Skipper Shan Masood comes to bat at number three, which is not a bad position for him to bat but he needs to have some runs on his bat.

Abdullah Shafique

Masood’s test numbers are just unacceptable considering he is the captain of the Test team of Pakistan. Being a top-order batter, he has been bating with an average of 28 and a strike rate of 49. These stats might suit a 7th-number batter but not a top-order batter.

Babar Azam comes to bat next and he too needs to fire from his bat right from this match or his team will lose another one. Following him, Saud Shakeel and Md Rizwan are the best batters at numbers five and six.

Agha Salman hasn’t shown his game till now but he is a good player of spin. This ability and the number he is given holds the perfect combination.

Coming to the bowling department, there are going to be some changes. In the first look of the pitch, it seemed like a lush green surface, and of course, they would chop off the grass a day before the match.

Shaheen and Naseem Shah are immovable from their spot and if the surface is left with a good green tint, Khurram Shahzad is also playing. Can’t understand why Shan Masood picked Mohammad Ali in place of Abrar Ahmed or Mir Hamza. Either Abrar or Hamza have to be included in the playing 11 for the last test or it will again be a weak bowling attack for Pakistan.

Here is the Predicted Strongest playing 11 for PAK vs BAN 2nd Test:

ENG vs SL: Predicting the possible starting XI’s before the second test at Lord’s

ENG vs SL: The English are hosting the Sri Lanka team for a three-match test series at home, with the first having already been played in Manchester. The English as well as the visitors made some undeniably great attempts from their end, but in the end, there could only be a single winner, and it was rightly the English.

However, despite the English’s win, no one could forget the wonderful debut innings the Sri Lanka no. 9 Milan Rathnayake played at Old Trafford. His 72-run knock broke the long-standing record of 41 years, which was set by Balwinder Singh Sandhu in 1983 on his test debut as a no. 9.

To follow the great knock, English wicketkeeper-batsman Jamie Smith responded with his stunning maiden Test century. Later, Sri Lankan veterans Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal, despite injuries, sustained the English attack and stood alongside Kamindu Mendis, who scored a brilliant hundred.

However, England, on the back of their most legitimate batter, Joe Root’s 50, earned another home win by 5 wickets.

Now with Mark Wood ruled out of the rest of the series, Josh Hull selected as his replacement, and Olly Stone probably looking forward to a test return, England will surely have some changes to their squad.

Let’s have a look at England’s probable playing XI for the 2nd Test:

Ben Duckett, Dan Lawrence, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Olly Stone, Matthew Potts, and Shoaib Bashir.

England will probably not be making many changes to their squad, as they just have a 13-member squad, of which Cox cannot replace Jamie after his sizzling ton recently, and Josh Hull has recently been brought into the side, with the only change being injured Mark Wood being replaced by Olly Stone.

Sri Lanka probable playing XI ahead of the 2nd test:

Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis, Milan Rathnayake, Vishwa Fernando, Asitha Fernando, and Lahiru Kumara.

Some eminent changes might be seen in the Sri Lankan team, as Madushka might be dropped after a stint of low scores, while Sadeera Samarawickrama might come in his place. While Jayasuriya might be dropped due to not-so-suitable pitches for multiple spin options, instead Lahiru Kumara’s raw pace can come in handy at Lord’s.

ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings Updated after PAK vs BAN and ENG vs SL Test Match

The International Cricket Council on Wednesday unveiled the updated ICC Test Player Rankings; many changes have occurred in the rankings. Pakistan’s former skipper Babar Azam’s poor form in the longest format of the game has seen him drop in the rankings by six places as he has fallen from the third position to the ninth in the Test Rankings.

Pakistani wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan on the other hand who played a really good unbeaten inning of 171 runs in the first inning and 51 runs in the second inning against Bangladesh in the first test match has achieved his best Test Career ranking as he has entered the top 10 ranks and is currently sitting at joint 10th position.

Rizwan sitting at joint 10th rank means his fellow teammate Babar is ahead of him by a small margin of just six-rating points in the updated ICC Test player rankings for batters while Pakistan’s vice-captain Saud Shakeel is not too far behind as he has moved up by one spot to the 13th position, thanks to the century he scored against Bangladesh in the first test match.

Indian batters have also risen in the Test batting rankings with Virat Kohli jumping by two spots to the eighth position while Yashasvi Jaiswal is ahead of Kohli by one position at the seventh spot.

England’s Harry Brook who had a terrific test series against West Indies and had a good first test match against Sri Lanka has risen to the fourth position in the rankings while England’s former test skipper Joe Root continues to remain at the top of ICC Test Batting Rankings.

Bangladesh’s experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has also climbed in the rankings, jumping by seven positions to the 17th spot, while Sri Lankan batter Dinesh Chandimal who had a good outing with the bat against England in the first test match has risen by four places to 23rd.

Kamindu Mendis’s phenomenal form with the bat in the longest format of the game has seen him rise by eight ranks to the 36th spot while England’s new wicketkeeper batter Jamie Smith has entered the top 50 positions in the batting rankings as he is currently sitting at the 42nd position.

Talking about the Test Bowling Rankings, Indian off-spinner continues to rule at the first position with 870 rating points followed by Josh Hazlewood, Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, and Kagiso Rabada. Bumrah and Hazlewood hold the joint 2nd position with 847 rating points next to their name. 

In terms of changes in the bowling rankings, Sri Lankan spinner Prabath Jayasuriya has risen by one spot to the ninth position thanks to his five-wicket haul against England in the Manchester test.

England fast bowler Chris Woakes has climbed by four spots to the 16th with 665 rating points next to his name while Sri Lankan fast bowler Asitha Fernando has also risen by 10 positions to the 17th.

The other two bowlers who have benefitted in the Test Bowling rankings are England’s Gut Atkinson (up by four spots to 42nd place) and Pakistani right-arm seam bowler Naseem Shah (up by four places to 33rd position). Both of these bowlers have achieved their career’s highest test rankings after their impressive performances with the ball in their nation’s respective test outings.

ICC’s Test All-Rounder Rankings on the other hand witnesses Ravindra Jadeja sitting comfortably at the top followed by fellow compatriot Ravichandran Ashwin at the second position, Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan at the third spot, and England’s Joe Root at the fourth position respectively.

Jay Shah to begin term as ICC Chairman after being elected unopposed

BCCI secretary Jay Shah is the youngest ever to acquire the ICC chair, as he replaced Greg Barclay after being elected unopposed. He will begin his role on 1st December, and his major outing will begin with the Champions Trophy to be held in 2025.


With the speculations over 15 of the Board members being in favor of Shah, and the present ICC Chairman, Barclay, informed the board that he is not ready for a third term after his two terms served from 2020, Shah went on to be the only nominee and hence was selected as the unopposed Chairman.



“I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council. I am committed to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to further globalize cricket,”

Shah said in an ICC statement


In a recent statement released by the BCCI, Jay Shah kept priority over Test cricket and also mentioned prioritizing more resources for women’s cricket. He has also said that more and more youngsters should be brought in to play the longest format of the game.


Much like India’s success in gathering ground-level players, Shah also expressed his positive attitude towards conducting talent searches. While the shortest format remains the most exciting format, test cricket remains a priority, and every player should see it as the foundation of the game and should be drawn towards the format.

Jay Shah is the fifth Indian to be placed as the ICC Chairman, after Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N. Srinivasan, and lastly Shashank Manohar. Shah has been into administering cricket, firstly for the Gujarat Cricket Association, from the year 2009 to 2015, where he served in many roles.


Later Shah moved to the BCCI and headed the finance and marketing committee before serving as the secretary of the BCCI from 2019 to 2024, and he remains in office until he takes over as the ICC chairman from the 1st of December.

After Shikhar Dhawan, Dinesh Karthik joins the Legends League Cricket

After Shikhar Dhawan, another big Indian name, Dinesh Karthik, joins the Legends League Cricket.


Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from cricket on Saturday, and since then he has been in the buzz and often received huge appreciation for his contributions to Indian cricket. Dhawan has been a great slave to Indian cricket, as he has played 200+ matches across formats for India, having scored 12000+ runs for the Men in Blue.

Dhawan was often known as Mr.ICC because of his amazing records in ICC tournaments, as he won the Wolden bat twice in the Champions Trophies in 2013 and 2017, while also emerging as India’s highest scorer in the World Cup 2015.

Shikhar Dhawan has also been part of the IPL since its first season in 2008, as he emerged playing for Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians, Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, and lastly the Punjab Kings.

With Jadeja released from the Duleep Trophy, let’s have a look at all major updates

The Indian selectors and the BCCI have asked senior cricketers from the Indian team to feature in ongoing tournaments like the Buchi Babu and the Duleep Trophy in the pre-season domestic tournaments.

The likes of great players who have played cricket for India across all formats, like Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, and Jaiswal, have been included in the teams for the Duleep Trophy.

Among them, Mohammad Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja were picked under Duleep Trophy’s team B. Siraj has been ruled out due to illness, and hence he will not feature in the Duleep Trophy. In his place, Navdeep Saini has been called in as a replacement.


Next came Umran Malik, who was a part of team C of the Duleep trophy and has also been replaced due to his illness by Ranji sensation Gaurav Yadav. The long story of his struggle went viral after he claimed a 10-wicket haul in a Ranji match against Delhi. He mastered the ball and came to the limelight as he struck for 41 wickets in 11 bowling innings and took five five-wicket hauls, averaging 14.53.

The bowler has 141 first-class wickets in his short career of 37 matches that started in 2012 when he made his debut for Madhya Pradesh, where he was a consistent performer. He moved to Puducherry before the domestic season of 2023-24.

The withdrawal of Ravindra Jadeja’s name from Team B of the Duleep Trophy yet awaits formal reasoning from the BCCI, though fans are excited by the decision. They feel this is a token of respect for the ICC’s best Test all-rounder. Though no replacement has been named for Jadeja as of yet, and it is awaited as well.

How do the revised squads for the Duleep Trophy look?

Team A: Shubman Gill (captain), Mayank Agarwal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel (wk), KL Rahul, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Tanush Kotian, Kuldeep Yadav, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Vidwath Kaverappa, Kumar Kushagra, and Shaswat Rawat.

Team B: Abhimanyu Easwaran (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Navdeep Saini, Yash Dayal, Mukesh Kumar, Rahul Chahar, R Sai Kishore, Musheer Khan, Nitish Kumar Reddy (subject to fitness), Washington Sundar, Mohit Awasthi, N Jagadeesan (wk).

Team C: Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Manav Suthar, Gaurav Yadav, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Anshul Khamboj, Sai Sudharsan, Rajat Patidar, Abishek Porel (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, B Indrajith, Hrithik Shokeen, Himanshu Chauhan, Mayank Markande, Aryan Juyal (wk), Sandeep Warrier.

Team D: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Atharva Taide, Yash Dubey, Devdutt Padikkal, Ishan Kishan (wk), Harshit Rana, Tushar Deshpande, Ricky Bhui, Saransh Jain, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Aditya Thakare, Akash Sengupta, KS Bharat (wk), Saurabh Kumar.

India’s Cricket Governing Body, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday announced the Indian Women’s Cricket Team’s squad for the upcoming ICC’s T20 World Cup 2024. Experienced Campaigner Harmanpreet Kaur will handle the team’s leadership duties while opening batter Smriti Mandhana will be the vice-captain.

The Harmanpreet Kaur-led team will open their 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup campaign against New Zealand on the 4th of October at Dubai’s International Cricket Stadium while the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clash will be played on the 6th of October at the same venue. 

The Indian Women’s Cricket Team has made just a single change from their recent Asia Cup 2024 campaign with Yastika Bhatia replacing Uma Chetry in the 15-member squad. Uma instead is a party of the travelling reserves alongside Saima Thakor and Tanuja Kanwer.

Alongside Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, the likes of Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, and Dayalan Hemalatha will form the batting unit of the team while Sajana Sajeevan is a part of the team as well. 

Deepti Sharma will lead the spin bowling unit and she will be supported by left-arm orthodox spinner Radha Yadav and leggie Asha Sobhana, who will be playing her first ever World Cup at the age of 33.

The pace bowling unit of the Women in Blue will continue to be led by Renuka Thakur, Arundhati Reddy, and Pooja Vastrakar.

Harmanpreet Kaur and her girls faced a heartbreaking defeat by eight wickets against hosts Sri Lanka in the recently concluded Women’s Asia Cup 2024, preventing the Indians from lifting their record eighth Asian Cup trophy.

The two teams will face each other again in the group stage of the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 and India will be looking to take revenge for their defeat in the Asia Cup Final.

IND vs BAN: Indian selectors and the BCCI have clearly stated even the likes of the greatest of players, like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and the T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, will have to feature in the domestic tournaments like the Buchi Babu or the Duleep Trophy in order to be a part of India’s squad for the Bangladesh home tour.

Suryakumar Yadav, who had made his debut for the Indian team in the longest format of the game against Australia in Nagpur last year, is eager to be back into the side for some “red-ball fun,” though the journey back would be with many informed players as obstacles.

Surya would face the obstacles in the form of his Mumbai teammate, Sarfaraz Khan, and experienced India batters like Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. Also, Ishan Kishan, who was recently playing the Buchi Babu for Jharkhand, has acquired some amazing results alongside scoring a quick century.

Surya also admitted that after having made his debut, he was ruled out due to injury, and in the meantime, many capable players were included in the Indian team who have proved their worth, performing well for India.


“There are a lot of people who have worked really hard to earn their place, and even I want to earn that spot again,”

Suryakumar said on the sidelines of preparing for the Buchi Babu in Coimbatore

Also, India has struggled in the middle-order in the longest format of the game. They have tried players like Sarfaraz and Dhruv Jurel who have been good in the middle order, yet with Rishabh Pant now back from injury and KL Rahul also intending to make a comeback even if it means as a middle-order batter, the competition is tougher, with the selectors being in a dilemma as well.

Pakistan and Bangladesh Are Slapped With Punishment After 1st Test; Check the Full Story, Why?

ICC punishes Pakistan and Bangladesh with heavy punishment after the PAKISTAN vs BANGLADESH 1st Test due to the breach in the ICC Code of Conduct Article 2.22. Shakib Al Hasan was also penalized for his aggression on the field.

The first-ever test loss to Bangladesh in the history of cricket, the pain and agony in Pakistan’s heart is all understandable. The ex-cricketers and cricket pundits in Pakistan are criticizing the decisions made on-field by skipper Shan Masood.

ICC Slapped Pakistan and Bangladesh

If the anguish of losing the test and the bad decisions wasn’t enough, the ICC have imposed heavy duties on Pakistan and Bangladesh for breach of the ICC Code of Conduct Article 2.22.

Ranjan Madugalle, a member of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, issued penalties after determining that Pakistan were six overs short of the required target and Bangladesh were three overs short, taking into account the allotted time allowances.

As a result, Pakistan have been fined 30% of their match fees and docked six points in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) standings. Bangladesh, meanwhile, have been fined 15% of their match fees and lost three WTC points for failing to maintain the required over-rate during the first Test in Rawalpindi.

According to Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which addresses minimum over-rate offenses, players are fined 5% of their match fee for each over their team falls short of the target within the allotted time.

Additionally, under Article 16.11.2 of the ICC World Test Championship playing conditions, teams lose one point for every over they fall short.

Captains Shan Masood of Pakistan and Najmul Hossain Shanto of Bangladesh admitted to the breaches and agreed to the proposed penalties, eliminating the need for formal hearings.

Shakib al Hasan Fined For Level 1 Offence

Shakib al Hasan has been known for losing his temper on the field and here we saw it happening again. In the first test, Shakib was bowling to Rizwan and as Shakib was just about to deliver the ball, Rizwan withdrew from his stance. Meanwhile, Shakib lost his cool and threw the ball directly towards the Wicketkeeper and Batter.

Shakib al Hasan

However, there was no harm to any player or property but throwing the ball towards the player without any runout attempt is considered as an offense of Level 1.

As per Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct, “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match.“

Shakib is handed a 10% fine of his match fees for this behavior. Thankfully no players and skippers are handed a match ban. The second test of the Bangladesh tour of Pakistan 2024 is set to commence on August 30.
