The home side haven’t played in the format recently, having last played a T20I series in December last year against the West Indies, in which they went down by 3-2. Pakistan, meanwhile, are entering the series high on confidence after beating Ireland 2-1 as part of their UK tour.
All eyes will be on Jofra Archer, who has made it to England’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad after a long injury layoff. Archer hasn’t played international cricket since March last year due to a stress fracture.
