KARACHI: Pakistan and England will begin a seven-match series in Karachi on Tuesday, their first visit to the city since 2005, in preparation for next month’s T20 World Cup in Australia.
England’s long-awaited return comes five months after Australia’s trouble-free tour, their first in 24 years, which aided Pakistan’s rehabilitation as a safe place to play cricket.
os Buttler, the captain of New England since longtime captain Eoin Morgan retired last year, is recovering from a calf injury that may prevent him from playing in the series.
Buttler, who only had a chance of being fit for the final two games, felt it was imperative to travel with his team because “it’s a critical series for the build-up into that World Cup.”
