He didn’t play in the first Test due to a foot infection. Team manager Intikhab Alam said Ali would return home and it was not clear if he would be able to rejoin the squad before the Test. Pakistan will have the services of Yasir Shah who regained full fitness after missing the first Test due to back spasm.
