Pakistan In Panic After Defeat To Bangladesh, Recall 37-Year-Old Spinner for PAK vs ENG Test Series

The Pakistan Cricket Team are trying to cover up their most recent failures as they have recalled a 37-year old spinner back into the squad in hopes of getting a decent result against England. England are all set to tour against a struggling Pakistan side who for the past few months have been getting worse and worse. Pakistan has been facing several internal problems which has led to a massive downfall of the squad. Pakistan saw a group stage elimination at the ICC T20 World Cup after their loss to the USA. 

Thereafter their problems only grew with the most recent one being Pakistan 's loss to Bangladesh at home. This loss has left Pakistan shaking in their boots as they have recalled their 37-year old spinner into the squad for the England tests.
