Manager: Akram Khan.

Surprisingly, Talha is not in this team. Also, Adding Aftab to this team means he is not gonna play test.

This leavesa lot of question mark on the availability of several players. Also, the bowling seems very weak. Talha should have been picked unless they plan to use him against England.
