Rehan Ahmed and Gus Atkinson back in Eng XI for 3rd Test against Pakistan

England have chosen to play three forefront spinners in the third Test against Pakistan, and have remembered Rehan Ahmed for the XI. The other change from the side that played the second Test in Multan, sees Gus Atkinson return aside. They supplant quick bowlers Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts. Ahmed last played for England in India and had remained uninvolved during the whole English summer. He made his Test debut in Karachi in December 2022 and took five wickets in the third innings to assist his side total a 3-0 with whitewashing over the hosts, which was their very first decisive victory at home in the organization. Ahmed, until now, has 18 wickets in four Tests at 34.50. He joins Jack Filter, the main wicket-taker in the series with 14 scalps, and Shoaib Bashir. Atkinson assumed an essential part in England's ordering prevail upon Pakistan in the main Test by taking four wickets for 136 runs, on seemingly the most harmless pitch that the hosts had laid since the arrival of the organization in the country. He was instrumental in getting the ball to turn around and represented Shan Masood and Babar Azam at night meeting on the fourth day to leave Pakistan destroyed at 41 for 3. While switch swing probably won't become possibly the most important factor however much it did in Multan, as the groundstaff have left the square rich, Atkinson's capacity to bowl in high 140kphs will unquestionably Test Pakistan. The other pacer in Britain's XI is chief Ben Stirs up, who got back to cricket following nine weeks in the last Test and bowled 10 overs which were similarly divided across Pakistan's two innings. Pakistan have gone to a few exceptional lengths throughout the course of recent days to make the Rawalpindi surface - that has generally preferred seamers more than spinners - more like Multan's. The groundstaff has conveyed modern fans on the two closures - as it did in Multan in front of the subsequent Test. To hurry the most common way of drying out the surface, they put gas radiators along the strip and caught the intensity on the 22-yeards with jacket on each side. This has appeared to persuade Britain that the pitch will help the spinners more.
