The Pakistan cricket team engaged in a three-day warm-up match against the PCC Select XI at Beckenham to prepare for an upcoming Test series against England. Initially, the PCC Select XI announced a 14-member squad captained by Tom Haines, which included Emilio Gay despite a recent shoulder injury. The match was postponed by one day following a mutual agreement between the Pakistan Cricket Board and the England and Wales Cricket Board. In the match, Saud Shakeel scored an unbeaten century to lead Pakistan to a seven-wicket victory. After trailing by 67 runs in the first innings, Pakistan successfully chased a target of 262 on the final day. The fixture served Shakeel’s performance is viewed as preparation for a potential return to form following recent struggles to reach 50 runs consistently. Looking ahead to the three-match ICC World Test Championship series scheduled to begin on starting August 19 at Headingley. Headingley, Shakeel suggested that England’s hot summer weather could benefit Pakistan’s spin attack. He noted that dry pitches might encourage more spin, similar to conditions observed during recent series in the country. Pakistan enters the series with momentum following recent wins against the West Indies and PCC Select XI, utilizing spin options such as Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha, and Ali Usman.
