Arthur said further changes to the team’s line-up would be made in light of the pitch and ground conditions ahead of the match.

“We have a lot of faith and a lot of confidence,” Arthur said while addressing a press conference in England.

Pakistan and India are set to contest a high-stakes Champions Trophy fixture on Sunday.

The cricket-mad neighbouring countries rarely square off and hundreds of millions of fans are expected to tune in and watch the teams fight for national pride at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
