Zulfiqar Babar

Joins another uncapped player, Mohammad Rizwan, in the Pakistan squad for the series beginning from November 17

The Pakistan captain had plenty of strong options to call upon as he led the way to another series win in the UAE

They don't have the flair of their team-mates, but they have plenty of mettle and their contributions speak volumes

Zulfiqar Babar defied those questioning his place in the team with just the sort of reliable performance his captain required

England came within 6.3 overs of saving the Dubai Test only for Yasir Shah to finally finish them off when he took the wicket of Adil Rashid in the final half hour of the day

No batting line-up has amassed more runs at a better average than Pakistan's in the past 18 months, but no other team has fielded a weaker tail

Misbah-ul-Haq says his Pakistan team needs to take England much more seriously for the remainder of the series, following their near-miss in Abu Dhabi

Nearly two years since his Test debut at the age of 34, Zulfiqar Babar has played only eight Tests and he is keen to add a few more matches to his name with a strong performance in Sri Lanka

Zulfiqar Babar scythed through the Sri Lanka Board President's XI lower order, claiming figures of 6 for 31, as Pakistanis took a seven-run first -innings lead in the three-day practice match in Colombo

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq credited his side's belief and work ethic for the 2-0 series win in the Tests against Australia

The last five wickets belonging to Michael Clarke's befuddled team tumbled for eight runs in 46 balls after lunch, rather summing up the gulf between the two sides in a series Australia had expected to win

Pakistan swept through Australia on day three in Abu Dhabi, with Mitchell Marsh offering the only resistance in an innings that more or less sealed the series for Misbah-ul-Haq's men

Zulfiqar Babar missed five seasons between his first two first-class matches, and was 34 when he finally made his Test debut, but he is quickly making up for all the lost time with his artful left-arm spin

Not since 1994 have Pakistan led Australia in a Test series. A telling 221-run victory in Dubai means that Misbah-ul-Haq's wonderfully resilient team are now a chance of breaking an identical 20-year drought between series wins over the same opponent

Pakistan encircled Australia on the third day in Dubai, preying on batting weaknesses glimpsed on countless previous occasions, whenever Michael Clarke's men have been confronted by a dry surface and diligent bowlers
