In head-to-head competition, England leads Pakistan in every format. Pakistan will attempt to close this gap by winning the test series after losing the most recent T20I series and the T20 World Cup 2022 final.
As expected, Ben Stokes will serve as captain of Team England, while Brendon McCullum will continue to serve as the head coach of this new era of England’s team. The Pakistani team will be led by Babar Azam.

Pakistan, on the other hand, will benefit for playing at their home. They will try to make the most out of this opportunity.
