The England cricket team has arrived in Pakistan for a historic tour. The Three Lions are touring Pakistan after 17 long years for a seven-match T20I series. Babar Azam and Co are coming into this series after a humiliating defeat in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. Pakistan will be looking to make amends and iron out all the issues in their team before the upcoming T20 World Cup. Mohammad Rizwan’s strike rate will be under scrutiny in the all-important series. The 30-year-old has been criticised by several pundits for his questionable approach in the final of the Asia Cup. Skipper Babar Azam will be looking to get back in form by getting some runs under his belt.
Jos Buttler-led England will know that Pakistan are the favourites to win in these conditions. It is worth noting that several players of the England side have some experience of playing in Pakistan due to the PSL. The likes of Alex Hales and Dawid Malan have played in the Pakistan Super League in the last few years.
