Sajid Khan secured a magnificent 12-for during the second Test and also took a total of 4 wickets during the first Test.

Pakistan have selected veteran cricketers Shoaib Malik and Mohd. Hafeez because of their additional ability to bowl effectively at the T20 level. Babar Azam during the second Test bowled three overs of off-spin and without a shadow of doubt impressed every one with his bowling skills.
