  "summary": "Pakistan has recalled batter Salman Ali Agha and left-arm spinner Ali Usman for its upcoming two home test matches against Sri Lanka in November. The players were among seven cricketers flown back home during a chaotic tour of England after Pakistan lost the second test at Lord’s in August. Agha has been scoring prolifically since his return to Pakistan and has followed his triple century in a domestic first-class match with a century against Sri Lanka in the ongoing ODI tri-series. The games will be held at Rawalpindi from Nov. 9 and at Lahore from Nov. 17, and are part of the World Test Championship cycle.",
