*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

The stated reason, that Karachi can't hold a Test as planned due to renovation, doesn't hold water. Because there are more than 3 Test caliber stadia locations in the country.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense either. Then again I'm still mystified why England are touring Pakistan not even two years after the last tour, and ditto New Zealand too.

Last time away to New Zealand wasn't included in the WTC

We struck up a relationship with PCC due to Wasim Khan(used to be Leicestershire CEO and one of the influential figures in English cricket).

So was defs a mutual agreement to more series, they came a few times during COVID and think we pulled out of a tour of Pakistan due to COVID too.

You need to use full stops and commas in your sentences. Difficult to read otherwise.

Squad (for 1st Test):

Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicket-keeper), Naseem Shah, Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicket-keeper), and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

It is quite unfair on Kamran Ghulam to be dropped from the test squad. Has done everything asked by the selectors and is the leading run scorer in the one day cup too. Being kept out of internationals in such pristine form is blasphemy.

Cannot drop Ayub as he did well against BD & kinda matched Ghulam so far looking at domestic ODI Cup.
Don't think there was a spot for him.
In batting only Babar is weak link atm and you cannot drop him. Shafique is young and cannot discard him based on one bad series.
Sadly there is no spot for Ghulam left.
