Pakistan drops Shan Masood from Sri Lanka Test squad as Agha, Rizwan return
Ali Usman has also been recalled to the Test team after being sent home from the England tour.
Former skipper Salman Agha has returned to Pakistan’s Test cricket squad for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, but there was still no place for Mohammad Rizwan following the team’s disastrous tour of England.
Agha and Rizwan were among seven players expelled from the Test tour of England in August, a series the visitors lost 3-0.
In Pakistan’s first squad since, five players remain out of favour, including wicketkeeper-batsman Rizwan, who is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the country’s cybercrime agency.
Along with Agha, left-arm spinner Ali Usman was also recalled after being sent home from the England tour before the third and final Test.
