Pakistan's national selectors have announced a squad for a two-match Test series in Bangladesh next month, with former Test captain Sarfaraz Ahmed appointed as head coach of the red-ball setup. Veteran pace bowler Mohammad Abbas, 36, has been recalled to the side, while four uncapped players — batters Abdullah Fazal and Azan Awais, all-rounder Amad Butt, and wicketkeeper Ghazi Ghouri — earn first call-ups. The appointments mark a significant reshaping of Pakistan's Test cricket leadership ahead of what will be a closely watched series.
