Meanwhile, six of the ten cricketers of the original squad who were forced to stay home after they were tested positive for covid-19, have now returned negative for the second successive test.

Pakistan will lock horns with England in a series of three Tests and as many Twenty20 Internationals in August and September.

Pakistan has not lost a Test series against England since 2010. They drew the last two series in England [2-2 in 2016 and 1-1 in 2010] but it will be a herculean task this time around since only Mohammad Abbas, among their squad of fast bowlers, has the experience of playing in England.
