Pakistan announce XII for the second Test against Australia

Pakistan have named a 12-man squad for the upcoming Boxing Day Test at the MCG.

Pakistan have kept only one frontline spin option in their squad, while four pacers are a part of the setup. The selectors have made a number of selection changes, based on injuries and form.

Though Khurram Shahzad impressed during his debut in Perth, the pacer picked up a stress fracture in his ribs and an abdominal tear while playing the Test. This ruled him out of the series.
