England’s red-ball contingent, led through the mercurial Ben Stokes, has made their strategy to Pakistan for his or her first Check collection in 17 years. The 3 Lions landed within the subcontinent within the early hours on Sunday for a three-match Check collection, their first within the nation since 2005 because of the precarious safety scenario.

The guests took section in a memorable T20I collection in Pakistan a few months in the past within the lead-up to the T20 International Cup. The collection used to be a hotly contested affair as England finished an exciting 4-3 collection victory within the final sport on the Gaddafi Stadium. Alternatively, it used to be feared that the English aspect may pull out of the Check collection, like they’d performed up to now, after an assault on former top minister Imran Khan all through a protest march in Wazirabad previous this month.

However England’s red-ball skipper Ben Stokes quashed the ones issues and feels the group’s safety is in the appropriate arms for the approaching collection towards the dropping T20 International Cup finalists.

“It is been a very long time since England have performed Check cricket in Pakistan. With what took place with Imran Khan not too long ago, there used to be a little bit bit of shock, however we now have Reg Dickason, who has been the safety guy for a few years with England, and we left it in his succesful arms,” Stokes stated in Abu Dhabi on Friday.

I am in reality taking a look ahead to the collection: Ben Stokes

Stokes wasn’t part of the English T20I group that took section within the seven-match collection within the nation a few months in the past. The fancy all-rounder is taking a look ahead to the Check collection as he hasn’t ever performed on those shores ahead of and may be fascinated by witnessing the safety preparations for the group.

“When it comes to the excursion itself, I am in reality taking a look ahead to it. I have by no means been there, and I am rather to peer what the safety lark is like. I have heard it is beautiful intense,” Stokes added.
