KARACHI, Pakistan : England will kick off their first tour of Pakistan in 17 years on Tuesday with the first of a seven-match Twenty20 series which assumes even more importance for both sides ahead of the World Cup in Australia next month.
England will play four matches in Karachi and three in Lahore before returning in December to play three tests in the second leg of the tour. "It is going to be memorable playing in front of the Pakistani crowds and also an immense honour to deputize for Jos Buttler, while he recovers from injury, and captain England," Moeen wrote in his column for the Daily Mail."Seven T20s will be a stern test in these conditions and a good pointer for where we are, ahead of the World Cup in Australia next month," added the all-rounder.
One of them, Alex Hales, will be particularly keen to impress after his three-year absence from international cricket due to an off-field issue.
