England Test captain Joe Root says he would be happy to tour Pakistan, Pakistan’s wickets are flat and different from England’s which he would prefer to bat on. It is not up to him to decide the tour but whenever it happens he would personally like to visit Pakistan.
While giving an interview to a private channel during an online press conference from Southampton, the captain of the English Test team said that Pakistan is a good country, when Test cricket returned there, the sentiments of the people were related to watching. He also asked the players. How did it feel to play in Pakistan again, everyone said it felt very positive.
No England team has visited Pakistan since 2005, but despite the difficult conditions in the Corona virus situation, Pakistan visited the England team this year, after which PCB CEO Wasim Khan and former captain Wasim Both Akram said that England should make a return visit to Pakistan.
The English cricket team is scheduled to visit Pakistan in 2022 and PCB is also keen to host a short series against England before this tour.
However, Joe Root says that post-coronavirus cricket backlog also has to be cleared, in which case it would be premature to say anything about the series ahead of the scheduled tour.
Speaking about the time loss due to bad light in the Southampton Test, Joe Root said that there should be a change in the playing conditions, what the umpires decided was in accordance with the rules and until the ICC did something about it. No, this is not under the control of the umpires or players on the field.
To a question, he suggested that in future play could be started half an hour earlier to compensate for the loss of overs due to bad light or weather, but Joe Root was sure to do so in the third Test between Pakistan and England at Southampton. Not visible as both boards will have a lot of discus to do so in the third Test.
