PAK vs ENG 2022 Test Series: Overview, Squads, Schedule, Live Streaming details

PAK vs ENG 2022 Test Series: England & Pakistan are all set to lock horns in a three-match Test Series beginning on December 1 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. This series is historic as it would be the first time in 17 years that England will play a Test Series on the grounds of Pakistan. The last time England toured Pakistan for a Test series was in 2005 when Michael Vaughan was the Captain of England’s Test squad.

The last time England & Pakistan met each other was in the T20 World Cup 2022 Final which England won by five wickets. Earlier before the marquee event, England toured Pakistan for a seven-match t20I series which was also won by visitors by 4-3 scores. The three-match Test series will be a continuation of that tour.

What’s the Position of England & Pakistan in WTC 2021-2023 Points Table

The series is a part of the WTC 2021-2023 cycle & carries valuable points. Pakistan is still in contention for qualifying for the WTC finals as they currently sit in the fifth position at the Points Table & a win in this series followed by the home Test Series against South Africa could bolster their chances to qualify for the Finals. They have a formidable Test squad in place with Babar, Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Nawaz forming their line-up.

On the other hand, England has fewer chances to qualify for the finals having displayed a poor show in Ashes 2021 followed by a disappointing series against West Indies earlier in march. However, they bounced back by winning their home Test series against South Africa & New Zealand under the leadership of Ben Stokes & Bazball Coach Brendon McCullum. They would aim to create an impact on Pakistani soil & improve their position on the WTC standings by winning this series. Currently, England is placed in the seventh position at the Points table. Which team will script history & win this historic series is what time will say.
