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 Saim Ayub will be replacing Imam-ul-Haq while Shaheen Afridi has been replaced by Sajid Khan.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. Pakistan are eying a win to record their consolation win in the third match after going down in the first two matches. There has been no confirmation from Pakistan as to why both Imam-ul-Haq and Shaheen Afridi were dropped. Australia, on the other side, won the first two games to register their series win. Australia have been superbly dominant amid home conditions, while Pakistan will have a lot to play for. 

Pakistan Playing XI: Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood (c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Sajid Khan, Aamir Jamal, Hasan Ali, Mir Hamza
