Chittagong [Bangladesh], November 25 (ANI): Pakistan on Thursday named a 12-player squad for the first Test against Bangladesh, which gets underway from Friday here at the Ch. Zahoor Ahmed Cricket Stadium. Pakistan and Bangladesh will lock horns in a two-match Test series.

Pacer Hasan Ali, Abdullah Shafique and Nauman Ali are among the names to be included in the 12-man squad for the first Test.

"Pakistan today announced their 12-player squad for the first Test against Bangladesh, which will be played at the Ch. Zahoor Ahmed Cricket Stadium, Chittagong from Friday. The match will start at 1000 local time," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.
