The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the squad for the series of two Test matches against Sri Lanka, but one of the most important players of Sri Lanka fell ill before the match and was out of the series.
Sri Lanka fast bowler Suranga Lakmal has been ruled out of the Pakistan tour. He will not be able to visit Pakistan due to dengue. According to Sri Lankan media, Isitha Fernando is likely to be included in the squad in place of Suranga Lakmal. Suranga Lakmal was the only player who was included in the squad that toured Pakistan in 2009.
On the other hand, Pakistan has also announced the national cricket team in which Azhar Ali will be the captain while Fawad Alam has been included in the squad after ten years. The chief selector and head coach of the national team, Misbah-ul-Haq, said in a press conference that after 10 years, the Test series is taking place in Pakistan, the home Test series against Sri Lanka is important, our focus is on the Sri Lankan series, we are trying to Get back on the winning track.
Misbah-ul-Haq says that talk of one-man show about me is wrong, general impression is that I take decisions alone, not at all, seen many things in the meeting, there are 6 selectors who are watching the players closely.
The chief selector said that there have not been many changes in the team, two changes have been made in the team, Fawad Alam has been included in the team instead of Iftikhar Ahmed, Fawad Alam has been performing consistently for the last 6 years, Usman Shinwari is working hard in bowling. Musa Khan is not included in the team but will remain with the team.
He said that currently our bowling is our problem, 2 senior players have left the Test format.
