Pakistan Tour of England 2026: Schedule, Venues, Squads & Other Details

Pakistan are all set to tour England for a crucial series in the year 2026. The tour includes a three-match Test series which will be key for both teams in the ongoing cycle of World Test Championship (WTC). The series is expected to be an exciting one given the fast bowling resources possessed by both the teams.

The conditions in England are suitable for the quicks and both these trams possess great quality in this department. Pakistan's fast bowlers have traditionally done well in England and this is another opportunity for them to stamp their authority in these conditions. On the other hand, England will be aiming to come back strongly in this WTC cycle.
