Is Sami likely to play or will he only play if Shoaib is injured?

I would hope that Sami would play regardless of the Shoaib situation. He did well against India in India and looked like he is finally getting somewhere. I'd like to see Rana Naved and Abdur Razzak fighting it out for a position, as Rana has shown that he can bat too, rather than making Razzak an automatic choice and one of Rana/Sami playing.

Pleasant. Towards end of december and early new year it can get pretty cold as well - as low as a single digit temperatures. But early November should be pleasant.

aren't all the tests being played in Punjab?

Much to my frustration, yes they are.
