England’s last international assignment was the tour to India where they played five Tests. With the T20 World Cup, not too far away, the hosts will take the Pakistan series as a dress rehearsal and hope to win the series and carry the momentum into the all-important T20 carnival.
On the other hand, Pakistan are coming into the England series after a lot of T20 action. They drew the New Zealand T20Is 2-2 after the first T20I was washed out due to rain. In the Ireland series, the Babar Azam-led team took the series 2-1. With a reinforced coaching staff, Pakistan will look to go all the way in the T20 World Cup starting from June 1 in West Indies and the USA.
