Pakistan, under the leadership of Shan Masood, is set to compete against West Indies in a two-match Test series commencing on January 17 in Multan. The Pakistani team will be missing key bowlers, including Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Similarly, West Indies will not have the services of Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph.

In a strategic move, Pakistan has reinstated Sajid Khan and Noman Ali, the pair instrumental in securing victories against England in the final two Tests of their recent three-match series, which Pakistan won 2-1.

Unfortunately, the hosts will be without Saim Ayub, who sustained a hamstring injury during the second Test against South Africa in Johannesburg.

This series marks the final opportunity for both Pakistan and West Indies within the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, as neither team is positioned to qualify for the final match scheduled to take place at Lord's Cricket Ground.

Pakistan squad: Shan Masood serves as the captain, accompanied by Saud Shakeel in the role of vice-captain. The team includes players such as Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Kamran Ghulam, Kashif Ali, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, and Mohammad Rizwan, who fulfills the duties of wicketkeeper and batter. Additionally, Noman Ali, Rohail Nazir (also a wicketkeeper and batter), Sajid Khan, and Salman Ali Agha complete the squad.
