ENG vs PAK: The English are touring Pakistan for a three-match Test series as they look to prove their dominance as one of the greatest red-ball teams in the history of the game. The first test played at Multan went largely in favour of the English. Joe Root and Harry Brook, the English batters, broke the backs of Pakistan bowlers as they broke several records and rewrote the record books with intent. Brook scored his maiden triple hundred, while Root also portrayed excellence in scoring his highest-ever individual score. Now, Pakistan have made some huge changes to their squad for the next two test matches as well, which will be played in Multan and Rawalpindi, the two most high-average scoring grounds in the nation.

Also, the likes of Pakistan pace duo Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah have been dropped while they have backed their squad with some new spinners. On Monday, Pakistan as well as England both announced their squads. Many significant changes have been made to the squads, with the likes of Pakistan making 4 changes to the Pakistan side and the great England skipper making his comeback to England Test 11 after missing out on the 4 Test matches.
