The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced a revised 16-member squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, with three players receiving their first-ever Test call-ups. Muhammad Tayyab Arif, Ali Shabbir, and Saqib Khan are set to make their debuts as Pakistan prepares to host Sri Lanka at home.

Initially, the squad included Ali Usman and Abdullah Fazal, but they have since been released from the team, paving the way for the new inclusions. This decision reflects the board's strategy to inject fresh talent into the squad as they aim for a strong performance in the series against Sri Lanka.S1
