England Cricket's Winter Tour Begins in Pakistan
20 Oct
Summary
- England begins its five-winter tour in Pakistan after a summer break.
- Recent form under captain Harry Brook shows mixed results away from home.
- England has a challenging ODI history in Pakistan over the last 21 years.
England's cricket team is set to commence their extensive five-match winter tour in Pakistan. This marks their return to action following the conclusion of the international summer. The team, which recently achieved victories against both India and Sri Lanka, will be aiming to build on that momentum.
However, captain Harry Brook's record in away One Day International matches is modest, with two wins and four losses. The opening match of this series will be held in Rawalpindi, a venue known for its pace and bounce. This city also hosted the most recent ODI clash between these two nations on Pakistani soil back in 2005, where England secured a narrow six-run victory.
England's ODI history in Pakistan over the past two decades has been limited, with only three matches played all early last year, all resulting in defeats. This upcoming fixture is a day-nighter, with play scheduled to begin at 2 PM local time.
