A tour which has been awaited for a long time with a baited breath by the local fans is set to begin on Tuesday, September 20. England have gone to Pakistan after 17 long years and will be playing T20Is in September-October before returning in December for three Test matches. The T20I series too, will be played in two legs as the first four matches will take place in Karachi, followed by the last three in Lahore.
England are missing a few of their key players in the T20I series. While Chris Jordan (finger) and Liam Livingstone (ankle) are injured, Test skipper Ben Stokes has been given a rest. The likes of Jos Buttler, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and Reece Topley wouldn't feature in the Karachi leg as the onus will be on skipper Moeen Ali and the Trent Rockets duo of Alex Hales (returning after three years) and Dawid Malan to lead England's challenge in the absence of first-choice players.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will be desperate to put their Asia Cup final loss behind and start afresh looking at the T20 World Cup. Questions were raised on Pakistan's top order and the openers' strike rate and the Men in Green have an opportunity to set that right in seven matches against one of the contenders for the trophy. After enduring a poor Asia Cup in which he scored just 68 runs in 6 innings, this series will also be important for Babar Azam - the batter.
