Pakistan named three spinners in their team for the second Test against England starting on Tuesday as they chase a series-levelling win on a re-used Multan stadium pitch.
The hosts made four changes from the side beaten by an innings in the first Test, including bringing in batsman Kamran Ghulam for his debut.
The 29-year-old has performed well in domestic cricket, having set a national record of 1,249 runs in the 2020-21 season.
The spin bowling will be handled by left-armer Noman Ali, leg-break bowler Zahid Mahmood and off-spinner Sajid Khan, all brought into the side.
Pakistan left out ace batsman Babar Azam from the first Test along with the pace duo of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah, and spinner Abrar Ahmed. He is still unwell.
England thumped the home team by an innings and 47 runs on Friday after the tourists compiled a mammoth 823-7 declared in reply to Pakistan's first-innings 556.
Squad: Shan Masood (captain), Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Agha, Aamer Jamal, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Zahid Mahmood
Ben Stokes back from injury for second Test
Captain Ben Stokes was named in the England team for the second Test against Pakistan starting in Multan on Tuesday after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Ben Stokes suffered the injury two months ago and was forced to sit out the three-match home series against Sri Lanka and the first Pakistan Test last week.
Durham seamer Matt Potts also returns to the side for the first time since the Lord's Test against Sri Lanka at the end of August.
Seamers Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes are rested.
England won the first Pakistan Test, also in Multan, by an innings and 47 runs on Friday, with Ollie Pope leading the side in Stokes's absence.
England rode on a brilliant 317 from Harry Brook and 262 from Joe Root for a stunning victory.
Pakistan became the first team in Test cricket's 147-year history to lose by an innings after posting a 550-plus total in the first innings.
England XI for second Test:
Ben Stokes (captain), Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Brydon Carse, Matt Potts, Jack Leach, Shoaib Bashir
Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board has announced a 16-member squad for the second Test match against England scheduled to begin in Multan from tomorrow.
Haseebullah, Mehran Mumtaz, Kamran Ghulam will make a debut and Sajid Khan has been included as spinner. Similarly, Noman Ali and Zahid Mehmood are also part of squad.
