Team News:
Pakistan
To pick eleven from Pakistan's fresh-faced squad will take some task. Pakistan have both Sami Aslam and Shan Masood in the roster to partner Azhar Ali at the top although the indication from the camp is that Masood could get first go given he played (and failed) the last Test in West Indies. Haris and Salahuddin will take up middle-order roles while Hasan Ali will likely partner Mohammad Amir with the ball. Yasir Shah, who has 149 wickets from 26 Tests, passed a late fitness Test and will spearhead the spin attack, which has Mohammad Asghar and and Bilal Asif to choose from as well. Young left-arm seamer Mir Hamza, with a strong domestic season behind him, might still have to wait for his turn with Mohammad Abbas and Wahab Riaz currently ahead of him in the pecking order.
Pakistan (From): Azhar Ali, Babar Azam, Asad Shafiq, Sarfraz Ahmed(w/c), Usman Salahuddin, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Asghar, Shan Masood, Sami Aslam, Wahab Riaz
Sri Lanka
With Tharanga taking a sabbatical, the recalled Kaushal Silva will move to the top of the batting order with Dimuth Karunaratne. The axed Malinda Pushpakumara's spot could be taken up by Sadheera Samarawickrema, the 22-year-old uncapped wicketkeeper-batsman. Roshen Silva, an experienced campaigner on the domestic circuit, is likely to take Mathews's spot. The visitors will be particularly buoyed by the return of pacers Nuwan Pradeep and Suranga Lakmal, who've both shrugged off injuries suffered in the last month.
