Pakistan has made a bold decision for the second Test against England by opting for a spin-heavy bowling attack. The hosts have dropped several regular players and brought in experienced spinners, hoping that the Multan pitch will offer more turn than it did in the previous match. Azhar Mahmood, Pakistan’s assistant head coach, maintained that there would be no change in the team's approach, despite the significant shifts in strategy over the past few days. Just a few weeks ago, Pakistan relied on an all-pace attack against Bangladesh, and their captain, Shan Masood, had previously stated that they would prepare seam-friendly pitches for the series, citing concerns about their spinners' ability to take 20 wickets in a match. However, after last week’s Test, where their two specialist seamers bowled a combined 57 overs, the team has now decided to go with only one specialist seamer, who is a part-timer. This marks a dramatic shift as they place their faith in spin bowling for the upcoming match.
