Former Pakistan batsman Faisal Iqbal has floated the idea of whether opener Fakhar Zaman could make his Test comeback against England.
Faisal’s comments come after Zaman scored 99 in Pakistan’s recently-concluded four-day intra-squad practice match in Derby.
Zaman’s knock of 99 came off 128 balls and included 10 boundaries and six sixes.
However, the 30-year-old has only featured in three Tests in his career, with the most recent one coming against South Africa in January 2019.
