Pakistan have announced their playing XI for their third and final Test match against Australia, scheduled to begin from January 3 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Pakistan will be missing the services of their two strong players in the form of Imam-ul-Haq and Shaheen Afridi who have not been included into the Pakistan's playing XI. Saim Ayub will be replacing Imam-ul-Haq while Shaheen Afridi has been replaced by Sajid Khan.
Saim Ayub is all set to make his Test debut after being impressive into the T20Is.
