Earlier both the teams announced the squads for the upcoming Test series. Whereas there is only one specialist spinner in the Pakistan squad, Abrar Ahmed. Jason Gillespie, the new coach of Pakistan's Test team, responded to the question.

The Bangladesh-Pakistan two-match Test series will start from August 21. The first match will be played at Pindi Stadium in Rawalpindi. Before that, coach Gillespie talked about the balance of the host team. The former Australia star commented that the Test team is quite balanced.

Claiming that the team has two specialist spinners, Pak coach Gillespie said, 'You can look at any section of the team. But I think we have two specialist spinners in our team. Salman Ali Agha deserves recognition as a specialist spinner. From what I have seen, he has a lot of potential off-spin. Abrar is undoubtedly a great young bowler even at the beginning of his career.

He further said, 'I think we have done enough preparation. We have many sim (pacer) bowling and spin bowling options on hand. Along with this, the batting is also complete in all aspects. I believe we are capable in all departments. So it's going to be a very exciting time for Pakistan's Test team.
According to the media Cricket Pakistan, the pitch of Pindi Stadium may be in favor of fast bowlers. And if that happens, four pacers can be seen in Pakistan's first Test XI. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Mir Hamza are pretty sure to play. Khurram Shehzad or Mohammad Ali can be seen as the fourth pacer. Salman Agha can be the only spinner in the team. Earlier, Salman was usually seen playing as a batting all-rounder. He also bowled as a part-timer.

That is why the match will be played without the presence of spectators, PCB said. Starting from 30th August will continue till 3rd September.
