Pakistan have handed Azam Khan, the son of legendary Moin Khan, a maiden international call-up and have picked the hard-hitting right-hander for the T20Is against England and West Indies. Meanwhile, Mohammad Abbas and Naseem Shah have been recalled for the Windies Tests after being dropped.

The PCB and the ECB have confirmed that England, for the first time in 16 years, will tour Pakistan for a two-match T20I series in October 2021. The historic England tour comes on the back of Pakistan visiting England earlier this year in the midst of a pandemic to play Tests and T20Is.

Eoin Morgan feels that England have created a fantastic blueprint for other teams to follow in regards the bio-secure bubble, and is extremely happy about it. Morgan has further added that if there is another summer of bio-secure cricket, families should be allowed to come inside the bubble.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar criticized Misbah-ul-Haq for not owning up Pakistan's performances on their recent tour of UK. Earlier, Misbah-ul-Haq had stated that he had taken charge of Pakistan when they were already on a losing streak in T20 internationals, which irked Akhtar.
