Pakistan, England squads for Dubai Test
DUBAI: Pakistan and England are finalizing their preparations for the third and final test match to be played in Dubai from February 3-7, 2012 and with a couple of injuries scaring England, Pakistan are likely to go with the winning combination.
The third Test starting from Friday will decide if Pakistan can clean-sweep the world’s number one Test side while on the other hand England would be looking for a consolation win in the Test series as Pakistan have already gained an unassailable 2-0 lead with a match to spare.
With Ian Bell struggling with an injury, England might give Ravi Bopara a chance to have a crack at Pakistani spinners who have scathed English batsmen in the first two Test matches of the series.
