Pakistan's upcoming Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi will feature an all-pace attack for the second time in nearly three decades, with no specialist spinner included. Naseem Shah's return after a year-long absence enhances the pace lineup alongside Shaheen Shah Afridi, Khurram Shehzad, Mir Hamza, and Mohammad Ali. Aamer Jamal, despite his outstanding performance in Australia with 18 wickets, is likely unavailable due to a lower back injury. This decision continues Pakistan's strategy shift favoring pace bowling, acknowledging recent pitches' conditions are expected to favor bounce. Coach Jason Gillespie remains optimistic about the team's composition, particularly Agha Salman handling spin duties.

The victory marks South Africa's second win in the 2023-25 World Test Championship, highlighted by Keshav Maharaj's landmark as the leading spinner in South Africa’s Test history with 171 wickets.
