There is an air of speculation around former India skipper and top-order batsman Virat Kohli who has been struggling to get his dominant form back.

Leg-spinner Yasir Shah, who is a key member of Pakistan's Test team, has been named in a case registered at Islamabad's Shalimar police station for allegedly aiding in the rape and harassment of a 14-year-old girl.

Furious at the violation of its COVID-19 protocols at a hotel in Rawalpindi, the PCB said any player or official breaking the bio-bubble in future will face immediate expulsion from the Pakistan National T20 Cup.

The two teams are scheduled to play three Tests and as many T20Is in the series which will be played after the conclusion of the ongoing three-match Test series between England and West Indies.

Pakistan toured India in the winter of 2012 for a short limited over series, but the two teams have not played a Test against each other since the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.

Shah, who is the fastest bowler to complete 200 test wickets, was dropped for the first test against Sri Lanka at Rawalpindi -- a historic five-day game in Pakistan for over a decade.

After Mitchell Starc's six wickets gave Australia a 287-run first-innings lead in the second test, rain interrupted play in the final session three times before being called off for the day.

What makes Yasir's century even more interesting is that he has a career batting average of just 14.06 (even after the century) -- the second-lowest for a batsman in Test cricket to have a century to his name.

The move was hinted at reminding the run-machine the number of times Yasir Shah has dismissed Steve Smith in Tests

In a video posted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Shan narrated how they met the cab driver and how he ended up offering dinner to him.

In the first innings of the first Test at the Gabba in Brisbane last Saturday, Smith faced only nine balls and was bowled by Yasir Shah for four runs.

Shane Warne also refused to buy the argument that finger spinners are losing relevance in limited overs format.

Raja further criticised Pakistan team management's decision to drop leg-spinner Yasir Shah from the ongoing third Test.

Williamson, who resumed on the fourth day on 14, batted the entire day and grafted an unbeaten 139 off 282 balls with 13 fours.

Yasir Shah also equalled Pakistan's record of most wickets in a Test match by claiming 14 wickets in the second Test against New Zealand last week.

Williamson and Watling dug in well and denied Pakistan success in the middle session before the home team got three wickets after tea to check New Zealand's progress.

Yasir Shah equalled the Pakistan record for wickets in a Test with fast bowler Imran Khan, who achieved his feat in 1982 against Sri Lanka in Lahore.

Yasir became the first Pakistan player to take 10 wickets in a day as he took 8 in the first innings after seeing off New Zealand for 90 and two in the second after enforcing the follow-on.

Hasan's twin strikes in his fourth over of the day pegged back New Zealand's progress, while Shah wrecked the lower order after tea to dismiss the visitors for 249.
