Wahab is currently in England with the Pakistan team, where he is preparing for the Test and T20 series.

There is a possibility that Wahab could make his Test comeback during the series after he opted to take a break from red-ball cricket.

The 35-year-old has not played Test cricket since Pakistan faced Australia in Dubai in October 2018.

Wahab only featured in one of the two four-day intra-squad practice matches Pakistan held in Derby. In that game, he went wicketless and scored nine runs.

Pakistan are scheduled to play three Tests and three T20 Internationals against England, with the first Test starting on August 5 in Manchester and the T20 series beginning on August 28 at the same venue.
