Squad spends some much-needed downtime ahead of Test series against England
As days grow closer to the start of the long-awaited England Test series, which will take place in Pakistan after a 17-year hiatus, Green Shirts took some time off from the field to wind down.
On his Twitter handle, Pakistan's skipper Babar Azam wrote: "Mandatory [photo] with the boys!"
In the photo, the squad's captain is seen posing with his three teammates — including batters Shan Masood and Imam-ul-Haq, as well as former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed.
While skipper Azam remains stood, the other three athletes sat inside in what appeared to be a golf cart decked up by Pakistan's traditional truck art.
The four rocked a casual look as they posed for the photograph. While captain Babar dared to don white ripped pants and a shirt of the same colour along with a denim blue jacket.
Shan went for a laid-back look with a black hoodie and blue jeans, while Imam and Sarfaraz wore sweatsuits.
The team will be up against England in the upcoming Test series which is scheduled to begin from December 1 to 21. The English cricketers have returned to Pakistan to play Test matches after 17 years since they last came in 2005.
The first Test will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Later, the second Test will be hosted in Multan while the last Test is slated to be played in Karachi.
