The Pakistan National Cricket Team has not been in their best form in the Test format. They were outplayed in England and will be up against Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series starting in early November. Ahead of the series, they have announced the squad, with Babar Azam remaining captain of the side.

Pakistan is sitting at the bottom of the table in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-2027 table. This is a crucial series for Babar Azam and his team as they look to find their way back to winning games, as the team has just won one game out of the last five matches they have played in this format.

Babar Azam set to lead Pakistan against Sri Lanka

Babar Azam will be leading the side. Despite the humiliation in England, the side did well under him at home and away from home, as they won against West Indies away. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a 13-member squad and has mentioned that two cricketers will join the squad post the three-day game.

Pakistan squad for two Test matches vs Sri Lanka: Babar Azam (C), Abdullah Fazal, Ali Usman, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Mohammad Abbas, Mohammad Ghazi Ghori (WK), Mohammad Suleman, Mohammad Taha, Razaullah, Saad Baig (WK), Salman Ali Agha, Sameer Minhas, Saud Shakeel.
