LONDON: Lancashire all-rounder Liam Livingstone returned as England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) named a strong 15-member contingent for their away Test series against Pakistan, scheduled later this year.

The ECB has named a strong 15-member squad for their historic tour to Pakistan after a gap of 17 years with the exception of their veteran pacer – Stuart Broad, who was not considered for selection.

According to the ECB, Broad’s partner is expecting their first child towards the end of November.

Meanwhile, Surrey all-rounder Will Jacks earned a maiden Test call-up for England following his impressive run in the County Championship Division One, guiding his side to the title victory.

Livingstone, on the other hand, will be looking to make his Test debut, having been called up to a Test squad for the first time since England’s tour of New Zealand in 2018.

It is pertinent to mention that England will tour Pakistan for a three-match Test series, scheduled from December 1 to 21. Rawalpindi, Multan and Karachi will host the three matches respectively.

KARACHI: England national men’s cricket team started their training for the upcoming T20I series against Pakistan, set to commence on September 20.

For the seven-match T20I series, prior to the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022, the touring side have raced up the preparations by partaking in the net sessions.

The touring players carried out robust practice sessions on Friday ahead of the first T20I against Pakistan, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

According to the details, the English contingent partook in an enduring practice session. The players engaged in vigorous fielding drills alongside net sessions for bowling and batting practice.

NOTTINGHAM: Pakistani-born England’s all-rounder Moeen Ali has announced the reversal of his retirement from Test cricket after showing his willingness to become part of England’s Test team on their tour of Pakistan scheduled later this year.

The Pakistani-born confirmed that he had officially taken back his retirement following the conversation with England’s new head coach Brendon McCullum on Sunday.

“I spoke to McCullum this morning, and we did discuss Pakistan this winter. The door is always open, and yeah, I suppose I am officially unretired,” said Moeen as reported by ESPN Cricinfo.

Earlier, Moeen expressed his desire to play the Test series in the upcoming England tour of Pakistan while claiming that the family heritage in Pakistan makes the tour more exciting for him.

“To travel with an England side there having family background from that part of the world will be amazing. It would be a historic event because of England not touring there for so many years,” told Moeen to BBC Test Match Special on Saturday.

“When, or if, Baz McCullum wants me, I’ll definitely play in Pakistan,” he added.

Moeen recalled his experience of playing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the affection he received from the people of his native country.

“I know the support and love you can get out there, they love cricket. It’s really something that’s very appealing for sure,” he concluded.

The England all-rounder announced his retirement from the red-ball cricket last year in September after featuring in 64 Test matches for England. He took 195 wickets and made 2914 runs including five centuries and 14 half-centuries during his Test career.
