Shan Masood is set to continue as Pakistan's Test captain for the upcoming home series against England. The Test squad will be announced following the Champions Cup final, with discussions ongoing between head coach Jason Gillespie and selectors Muhammad Yousuf and Asad Shafiq.

The England team is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on October 3 for a three-Test series starting October 7 in Multan. Notably, Pakistan suffered a 3-0 series whitewash the last time England visited.

With few changes expected in the Test squad that lost to Bangladesh, head coach Gary Kirsten is focusing on new talent for T20 and ODI matches. However, the batting order is likely to remain the same, including players like Shan, Babar Azam, and Abdullah Shafique.
