The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the team for England tour. On Friday, the Pakistan Cricket Board has selected the 29-member squad, which will play Test and T20 series in England. This team includes many new players, while former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has made a comeback in the team.
A three-match Test series and a T20 series of the same number of matches is scheduled to be played between hosts England and Pakistan in August. The England team will earlier play a three-match Test series against the West Indies in July, while this will be Pakistan's first tour after the Coronavirus outbreak. Let us know that two players of the Pakistan team (Mohammad Amir and Haris Sohail) refused to go on a tour of England.
