Pakistan wins the toss and decides to bowl against Bangladesh in the 2nd test
SYLHET, Bangladesh (AP) --- Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss Saturday
and decided to bowl first in the second cricket test against hosts Bangladesh
in the northeastern city of Sylhet.
Earlier this week, fast bowler Nahid Rana claimed five wickets in the second
innings as Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 104 runs in Dhaka in the opening test of
the two-test series.
Leading Pakistan batter Babar Azam was back in the squad after missing the
first test because of a left knee injury. Pakistan also included pacer Khurram
Shahzad and offspinner Sajid Khan to the playing XI in three changes from the
opening test.
Imam-ul-Haq, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Noman Ali were left out.
Bangladesh made two changes as it looks to win its second straight series
against Pakistan.
The hosts handed a test debut to Tanzid Hasan and brought back pace bowler
Shoriful Islam, replacing injured opener Shadman Islam and Ebadot Hossian.
