With the T20 World Cup 2024 just around the corner, defending champions England will begin their preparation as they host Pakistan for a four-match T20I series, beginning in Leeds on Wednesday (May 22).
Pakistan have been on the road for a few weeks now as they had travelled to Ireland for a three-match series recently. The Men in Green managed to clinch the bilateral series after losing the series opener.
Pakistan are the only team left who haven’t announced their squad for the global event, set to be played in the Caribbean and the USA in June. They will look at the performances in the upcoming T20I series against England before deciding their final 15 for the multinational tournament.
The returning Mohammad Amir failed to impress in the two matches that he played against Ireland. He bowled his full quota of four overs in both games but only managed to take two wickets and went for 76 runs.
Hasan Ali played the final match of the series but he too proved to be expensive against a relatively inexperienced Ireland batting line-up. The medium pacer has been released from the squad on the eve of the series opener.
Pakistan had to fight hard to get over the line against Ireland and would be keen to put on a better performance against England.
For England, the biggest news was the comeback of their premier fast-bowler Jofra Archer. The right-arm quick had missed over 12 months of cricket due to an elbow injury.
Some of the big names of England cricket, who were part of the Indian Premier League (IPL), have come back for the series against Pakistan as the hosts would look to make a statement before their title defence next month.
All eyes will be on England’s skipper Jos Buttler who has not been in the best of form lately. In IPL 2024, he only managed to score 359 runs in 11 matches.
All-rounder Liam Livingstone, who left the IPL midway due to an injury, is unlikely to start the series and Ben Duckett might play ahead of him.
For the visiting team, their head coach Gary Kirsten has joined them in the United Kingdom after finishing his stint with the Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL.
It will be a tough task for the Babar Azam-led side to take on a full strength English team in their own backyard.
