England Announces Squad for First Test Against Pakistan
England have announced their squad for the first Test match against Pakistan. The England team is on a tour of Pakistan for a three-match Test series. The series is starting from the coming 7th. Pakistan, which has been struggling for some time now, has to fight for its survival. Recently, Bangladesh went to Pakistan and did their correct program. Bangladesh bagged the Test series 2-0. So there is no doubt that it will be a big challenge for the hosts. However, before the opening match, Pakistan has got a big relief. Because England will be led by the newly elected captain in the first match.
