Pakistan shifts focus to England as Test squad leaves West Indies

They will play the three-match series against Joe Root’s side

Pakistan's Test cricket squad has departed the West Indies for England, where they will begin preparations for a three-match Test series against the hosts later this month.

Pakistan recently completed their two-Test series against the West Indies, with the contest ending in a 1-1 draw. After splitting the series, the national Test side has now turned its attention towards the challenging tour of England.

The Pakistan and England Test series will consist of three matches, with the first Test scheduled to begin on August 19.

Before the opening Test, Pakistan will have an opportunity to acclimatise to English conditions through a four-day warm-up match against a Select XI.

The tour represents another important assignment for Pakistan's Test side as they look to build momentum following their competitive series in the Caribbean.

Pakistan will be hoping to make the most of the warm-up match before facing England in the first Test on August 19.

The squad's preparations will focus on adapting to the conditions and ensuring the players are ready for the demands of a three-match red-ball series.
