The Greenshirts are scheduled to play a three-match Test series against the hosts followed by as many T20Is in the early August to early September window.
Pakistan Test skipper, Azhar Ali, has also expressed his views on England’s “fragile top order” which indeed has been shaky in recent times:
Raza hits out at Azhar Ali on his own frailties
However, the former Pakistan captain and World Cup-winner Ramiz Raja has given Azhar Ali some stick and criticised the Pakistan captain’s own batting and captaincy exploits in recent times, saying that the red-ball skipper should focus on his own batting first.
Raja reflected upon Pakistan’s recent tour of Australia last year where Azhar Ali’s captaincy was well below par and he couldn’t get his willow talking either:
The Pakistan Cricket Board has encountered fierce backlash on improper safety management of the players after as many as ten players selected for the England tour were tested COVID19-positive.
Raja, however, was quite vocal in conveying his reverence and admiration to the PCB for its role in the resumption of cricket amidst the pandemic:
While Azhar Ali will lead the team in the Tests beginning 30th July, Babar Azam is the designated Pakistan skipper in the white-ball formats.
