imagePakistan’s chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq seemed optimistic about Pakistan’s strong comeback in the upcoming third Test, which begins in Birmingham next week.

According to local media report, “I am convinced that as the players get more experience in these conditions, their performance will improve and Pakistan will get better results and bounce back,” Inzamam said.

“The win at Lord’s has shown everyone that this team is more than capable of winning against tough opposition and in foreign conditions,” the 46-year-old said.

“The Old Trafford Test obviously did not go that well, but then we have to give credit to England for making a comeback in this series which shows that they are a very tough team to beat.”

“Look most of the players are playing in a test series in England for the first time in their lives. I am not disheartened by the second test defeat because better touring sides than us have come to England and struggled in their conditions.”

“I firmly believe this team has lot of talent and can bounce back in the two tests.”

After a stunning victory in the first Test at Lord's, Pakistan were humbled when England leveled the series 1-1 earlier this week, crumbling to a 330-run defeat in Manchester.

One thing in Pakistan's favour heading into the Edgbaston Test will be the absence of England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who has been ruled out due to a torn right calf. England coach Trevor Bayliss, speaking before it was confirmed Stokes would not play in the third Test, said, “If he does miss out, it will give someone else an opportunity.

Inzamam has expressed that he was confident that Misbah ul Haq with his experience and performances would be able to lift the spirits of the team in the remaining two Tests and help them recover after the defeat at Old Trafford.

However, the third Test starts on Wednesday, August 3.
