Pakistan have named their test squad for upcoming series.
Naseem Shah not named as he is still recovering from a shoulder injury that kept him out of the World Cup and Haris Rauf made himself unavailable for selection.

Harris still has at least another 2 opportunities ahead of him at test level to prove he isn’t up to it.
Why put Green in there?

Green needs runs to get this test spot back from Marsh.

The answer to why they put Green in there is in the article I posted or more so in this one- https://www.cricket.com.au/news/3792235

Marsh didn't bat well at the Oval, and a few more failures might suggest a reversion to the mean and time to look at someone else.

But I agree, Green needs runs to be that someone else.

Marsh, unless he breaks down again beforehand.

[Brodlach]

Starc is injured, so Morris or Boland will play

[Lightning McQueen]

Starc is injured, so Morris or Boland will play

Broke up with the missus too didn't he?

[Brodlach]

Starc is injured, so Morris or Boland will play

Broke up with the missus too didn't he?

Not sure.

Would be a difficult situation with both being away so often


Edit. Just googled it and they just bought a $20 million home three days ago so I doubt it.

25 million actually Beyond the house, its add-ons include everything from equestrian facilities, stables, a tennis court, swimming pool, cabana, pavilion, at least one fire pit, a fairly impressive chicken coop, a kitchen garden, and some of the suburb's best district views.

Believe their old house sold for about 9 mllion
