Azhar Ali has acknowledged he’s banking on his young pacers – Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi – to challenge the “still settling” England batting line-up. Pakistan have done fairly well in England in the last four years – winning the series in 2016 and drawing the one in 2018. “Their top order has been quite fragile for a while since Alastair Cook retired. They’ve tried a few combinations and only now it’s just settling down; they weren’t very confident of their top order” said Azhar Ali.
