Nauman offers resistance with the bat and can hold a end up with the ball.

I would like two Hassan Alis as well but, unfortunately we only have one.

Thiers no way shaheen will get dropped.

Only reason i say drop Shaheen is he's getting too exposed and perhaps you can mix up the attack but you are right don't over-do the changes in your team when it's playing well, in that case my XI for tomorrow:

1. Abid Ali
2. Imran Butt
3. Azhar Ali
4. Babar Azam (c)
5. Fawad Alam
6. Muhammad Rizwan (wk)
7. Faheem Ashraf
8. Hassan Ali
9. Numan Ali
10. Yasir Shah
11. Shaheen Shah Afridi

With the above you have a batting line-up that bats till 10, barring the openers. It'll be hard to not add Abbas so i can see Faheem getting the boot or even Numan being dropped for another pacer with i guess Fawad being your part time spin and Yasir being your main spinner. I would go with 2 spinners but all depends on the type of wicket that is prepared, with that said WI often make mistakes against spin so having 2 main spinners ain't a bad option.

How is the weather looking people?

How is the weather looking people?

Today should be good, I think there was a little rain around 1am but all day is clear. Ideal for batting in my mind.

WI vs PAK, 1st Test live streaming: When and where to watch West Indies vs Pakistan in India?

Kraigg Brathwaite's West Indies lock horns with Babar Azam's Pakistan in the 1st Test match. Here are live streaming details of the WI vs PAK game today.

West Indies and Pakistan will kickstart their second cycle of the highly famed World Test Championship (WTC) from Wednesday (August 12). Both the teams had mediocre performances in the inaugural WTC and would be itching to put up a better display this time.

Led by Kraigg Brathwaite, West Indies have named a strong team and they will have to execute their skills and application properly in order to get a positive result against Pakistan.

Pakistan, on the other hand, will be banking severely on the duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan and would hope they get into the scheme of runs as they are essentially the backbone of the team.

A win for both teams would invariably put them in pole position to win/draw the series as there are only 2 Test matches. A lot of points are at stake and a whitewash would get the winning team full 24 points.

Here's all you need to know about the 1st Test between West Indies and Pakistan:

Where and what time will the 1st Test between West Indies and Pakistan begin?

The 1st Test between West Indies and Pakistan will begin at 8:30 PM IST on August 12th at the Sabina Park in Kingston.

Which channel will telecast 1st Test between West Indies and Pakistan?

The 1st Test between West Indies and Pakistan will not have a live broadcast in India.

How to watch the live streaming of the 1st Test between West Indies and Pakistan?

The 1st Test between West Indies and Pakistan will have a live streaming on the FanCode application.

Nauman offers resistance with the bat and can hold a end up with the ball.

It would be interesting to see 2 Hassan Ali's bowling together from both ends.

He's getting exposed in t20s not in tests.and that line up is good azwell I wouldn't mind that but I'd rather numan as the spinner as he offers control.
