After losing the first 2 Tests, Pakistan may be looking to win at least 1 Test on their trip to Australia but they will have to try and do that without Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Pakistan named its playing XI on the eve of the 3rd Test but their pace spearhead along with Imam-ul-Haq was left out.

'Shaheen Afridi has bowled most overs in world cricket in recent times. He gives his 150 per cent in the training sessions as well. He keeps motivating his teammates. He is our main player. We'll make sure we look after Shaheen Afridi really well,' Skipper Shan Masood explained during the press conference on Tuesday.

Interestingly, Shaheen bowled 99.2 overs across the 4 innings of the first two Test, the most by a bowler in the ongoing series.
