Pakistan has made several changes to their squad for this series. Despite being the joint-highest wicket-taker in the South Africa series, Mohammad Abbas has been rested, alongside Naseem Shah, as Pakistan opts for more spin options. Mohammad Ali and debutant Kashif Ali have been called up, while Shaheen Afridi remains unavailable.
West Indies will be led by Kraigg Brathwaite. They enter the series after drawing a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Their batting lineup includes Keacy Carty and Mikyle Louis, while their bowling will be spearheaded by Jayden Seales and Kemar Roach.
Historically, Pakistan has held an advantage over the West Indies in home conditions, with the Caribbean team failing to secure a Test win in Pakistan since November 1990. The last encounter between the two teams took place in Kingston in 2021, ending in a 1-1 draw.
