Yasir Shah will not play one-off T20 against England while six batsmen in XI are Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul Haque, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, and Sarfaraz Asif.

Pakistan will play with four fast-bowlers and a spinner, Imad Wasim.

Uncapped Sussex batsman Phil Salt has been added to the England squad for Sunday’s Twenty20 international against Pakistan following the withdrawal of Dawid Malan who suffered a muscular injury in his groin while batting during Friday’s nervy four-wicket victory over Ireland.
