Hasan Raza will lead a Pakistan 'A' squad featuring seven Test players against England in the tourists' second warm-up match in Lahore, the Pakistan Cricket Board said Wednesday.
The second tour match starts Sunday.
Raza, also a member of Pakistan's 16-man squad for the first Test, leads a line-up which beat Australia 'A' in their home series two months ago.
England fought back to win the first warm-up match against Pakistan Cricket Board Patron's XI by 52 runs on Wednesday, despite setting the home team a target of only 158.
The first of three Tests begins in the central city of Multan on November 12.
Squad: Taufeeq Umar, Imran Farhat, Shahid Yousuf, Hasan Raza (capt), Faisal Athar, Mansoor Amjad, Amin-ur-Rehman (wicketkeeper), Arshad Khan, Mohammad Asif, Shahid Nazir, Mohammad Khalil, Rizwan Ahmed, Junaid Zia and Usman Tariq.
