Pakistan arrive after drawing their two-Test series against the West Indies 1-1, while England are entering a new phase of their Test setup. Joe Root has returned as England’s full-time Test captain, replacing Ben Stokes, and will lead the side at Headingley. England are also moving into their first series after the departure of Brendon McCullum as red-ball coach, with Marcus Trescothick serving as interim coach before Stephen Fleming takes over later.
Pakistan had planned to begin the tour under Babar Azam, but the captain has been ruled out of the first Test due to a right-hand injury sustained during the warm-up match against a County Select XI in Beckenham. Salman Ali Agha will captain Pakistan in his absence. Some of the best cricket commentators will be a part of the coverage as an enthralling series is expected.
