The much-awaited England versus Pakistan Test series is all set to begin from August 05 at the Old Trafford in Manchester. The confidence of hosts must be sky high after recently defeating West Indies in the three-match Test series 2-1.
Pakistan, on the other hand, would be eager to impress the fans in their first-ever international project post coronavirus pandemic, which stopped all the action from March early this year. Just like the Windies, Pakistan will also play three Tests on England’s soil.
