BIRMINGHAM: Pakistan interim head coach Mike Hesson said on Friday the team was likely to field four fast bowlers in the third Test against England, with the final XI to be announced 24 hours before the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hesson said that the next three to four days would be crucial as Pakistan shifted its focus towards preparing for the third Test after a difficult few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe last few days have been challenging, but now all our focus is on preparing for the third Test,\u201d Hesson told reporters in Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said individual one-on-one discussions with players had helped determine the team\u2019s preparation and direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hesson, who has been placed in charge of the Test team on a temporary basis for the third Test at Edgbaston, beginning on September 9, said the limited preparation time had made it necessary to quickly establish a balanced squad after Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq and Salman Ali Agha left the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Batters Imam-ul-Haq and Salman Ali Agha, along with wicket-keeper Muhammad Rizwan \u2013 were removed before the former New Zealand coach took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSalman had been among Pakistan\u2019s best players over the previous two years,\u201d Hesson said, adding \u201calthough his performances in the last three Tests had not been up to the required standard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDecisions have been made. Now my responsibility is to put together a balanced squad,\u201d Hesson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the decisions to remove former bowling coach Umar Gul and former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed were not his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that left-arm seamer Ali Usman remained a quality bowler, but the team would have to consider overall balance when finalising the XI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also praised Mohammad Abbas for his performance and said Pakistan would need to provide him with adequate support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will most likely go with four fast bowlers in the third Test,\u201d Hesson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coach said the players\u2019 morale remained good despite the difficult period and praised the squad for its response over the past few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe players have responded very well over the last few days,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan will announce its playing XI for the third Test 24 hours before the match, Hesson said, as the team seeks to prepare for the final game of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
