Interestingly, the spin trio that is making a comeback to the Test team has a total experience of 25 matches with Noman Ali playing 15 of them. Sajid Khan last played for Pakistan earlier this year against Australia in Sydney. Zahid Mehmood is returning to the Test team for the first time since December 2022 while Noman played his last Test for Pakistan in July 2023. Moreover, Pakistan are using the same pitch used in the first Test in Multan hoping that it will turn right from Day 1 of the second Test. For the same reason, the home team hasn't picked a specialist fast bowler with Aamer Jamal being given the responsibility of being the lone seamer. Pakistan are winless at home in Tests for the last 11 matches since March 2022 and are desperately trying everything to return to the winning ways.
