The Cricket Governing Body of Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is anticipated to unveil the complete-schedule for the forthcoming 3-match Test-Series versus England within the next two or three days.



As the much awaited Pakistan vs England test series gets closer, the visitors are facing some issues as their skipper Ben Stokes is still battling his injury issues.



Ben Stokes suffered a hamstring-injury in the month of August but England have still gone ahead with the decision of including him in the squad for the tour of Pakistan despite the 33-year old not getting the complete fitness clearance.



The Three Lions skipper is set to undergo fitness scans next-week to evaluate his match readiness for the first test-match, which is set to start from the 7th of October onwards.



The PCB have decided to host the matches of the test series against England in the Multan International Cricket Stadium of Multan and Rawalpindi's Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with the board planning to organise the first two test matches in the Multan International Cricket Stadium.

The decision of not allowing Karachi to host a test match is due to the construction-work going on in the stadium at present.



While the confirmed schedule of the three-match Test Series is not revealed yet, the intention of the Pakistan Cricket Board is to let the Green Shirts make full use of the favourable conditions in the Multan International Cricket Stadium by organising two test matches at that venue.



However, an alternate option of letting the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium play host to the first &amp; third test-matches of the series is also an option which the PCB can consider.

Gus Atkinson, Rehan Ahmed, Ben Stokes (Captain), Harry Brook, Shoaib Bashir, Jordan Cox, Brydon Carse, Josh Hull, Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Jack Leach, Joe Root, Matthew Potts, Olly Stone, Jamie Smith (WK) and Chris Woakes.

Off-spinner Sajid Khan put Pakistan on the verge of victory against West Indies in the first Test, thanks to his exceptional performance with the ball. Khan's impressive bowling, alongside Noman Ali, left the visitors struggling at 54-5.
Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan made history on Sunday by reaching a significant milestone during the third day of the ongoing first Test against the West Indies. The right-arm spinner claimed his 50th Test wicket in the match, etching his name in the record books. He reached this landmark after dismissing West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite. His 50th wicket places him among the fastest bowlers from Pakistan to achieve the milestone, doing so in just his 11th Test match.
On Saturday, it took Sajid just seven balls to get his first wicket, what he later called "an offspinner's dream wicket," flighting the ball outside off stump, lulling Mikyle Louis into the drive, and sneaking through the gate to rattle the stumps. Eleven balls later, Sajid had four wickets to his name, West Indies' top order being cut to ribbons. West Indian batters simply had no answer to Sajid's guile as the bowler knocked over the first 4 batters. Apart from Louis, he also bowled a dream delivery to castle Hodge.
"As an offspinner, I have a bit of a complicated bowling style. I can't introduce too many new things to it," Sajid Khan said about his bowling.
Meanwhile, Jomel Warrican also shone with a career-best 7-32 in Pakistan's second innings.
