The batting line-up is quite strong, we have several openers, the captain said. Unfortunately, Imam-ul-Haq is not a part of this series but he is an important member of our Test squad.
On the question of resting Imam-ul-Haq in the series, Shaan Masood said that he wants to give opportunities to emerging players like Mohammad Harira and will give an opportunity to Harira soon. He has been performing consistently in domestic cricket for the last 3-4 years. For this reason, Imam has been rested.

It should be noted that the first test match of the two-test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh has been delayed due to rain and wet outfield.
