ENG vs PAK, 1st T20I: After a long haul of 17 years, the English team has finally touched down on Pakistan soil. This is the first time that the English have traveled to Pakistan since 2005. Jos Buttler and his men are scheduled to play seven match T20Is and they will later visit Pakistan in December for a three-match Test series. If things had gone as per plan, this entire series would’ve played out last year.
In a sudden change of events, New Zealand pulled out of the tour at the last minute and England followed their footsteps accordingly. Pakistan termed England’s actions as disrespectful and since then has tried its level best to make playing conditions safer for visiting countries. This historic tour is bound to test England’s bench strength as their skipper Jos Buttler remains unsure of active participation. Buttler is currently nursing a calf injury and looking at the whirlwind of T20Is in the lead-up to the World Cup, Buttler will not risk himself.
Moeen Ali will lead England if Buttler misses out on the tour. here is everything that you need to know about the upcoming T20I series:
