England Tour of Pakistan - 2024

Babar set to be dropped; Multan curator instructed to prepare spin-friendly track

Cricbuzz understands that Tony Hemming, the head curator, and his team have been instructed to prepare a surface on which the ball turns right from day one as Pakistan have decided to go spin-heavy in the second Test.

Sajid Khan, who last played in January in Sydney, is set to be recalled to the squad, which Pakistan are expected to announce later in the day. Abrar Ahmed is unlikely to recover in time for the second Test as he remains hospitalised in Multan.

England Captain Ben Stokes returns after missing the last four Test matches. He has fully recovered from a hamstring tear, which has kept him on the sidelines since early August.

Durham seamer Matt Potts returns to the side for the first time since the Lord’s Test against Sri Lanka at the end of August.
