Veteran pacer Wahab Riaz and uncapped batsman Haider Ali are likely to be give chance in third and final T20I of the series against England on Tuesday.

In a last ditch effort to save the series, the team management is expected to shuffle the combination in Manchester.

Mohammad Amir, who limped off the field on Sunday due to hamstring issue, is likely to be replaced by Wahab, while middle-order batsman Iftikhar Ahmed is likely to make way for young batsman Haider Ali.

Head Coach Misbahul Haq and Bowling Coach Waqar Younis are under pressure after the previous loss. The Pakistan team has been toiling away in England without a victory so far.

The Men in Green suffered a five-wicket defeat in the opening Test despite being in a very strong position. Likewise, the Pakistan side failed to defend a mammoth total in the second T20I against the host.

There might be question marks on the coaching staff as well after the tour concludes on Tuesday. Talks are already under way to strip Misbah of the position of chief selector, especially after the recent performance of the team have been downward trending under the reign of Misbah.
