Pakistan trims test squad to 16 ahead of South Africa series

The Pakistan cricket team has made changes to its lineup for the upcoming Test series against South Africa. They have released fast bowler Aamir Jamal and spinner Faisal Akram from the squad, reducing the team to 16 players. Jamal and Akram will not be part of the team for the series against South Africa. The decision to trim the squad was made in preparation for the upcoming matches, with the team management opting for a smaller group of players to focus on. The exclusion of Jamal and Akram could impact the team’s bowling options, but the management seems confident in the remaining squad’s abilities. Pakistan will now move forward with a streamlined lineup as they gear up to face South Africa in the Test series.
