This is a tough time for Pakistan cricket team as Pakistan is going to be rusty as since March 2020, they have not featured in any competitive cricket, furthermore the last time they featured in competitive cricket was HBL PSL 2020 which is a T20D tournament, hence the last time Pakistan played test match cricket was when Bangladesh visited Pakistan for featuring first test, than the HBL PSL 2020 and afterwards it was supposed to be a return tour in April 2020 but due to ongoing pandemic, it was marked suspended. Hence it has been since February 2020 Pakistan haven't featured in test match cricket, and hence when they are going to make a return to competitive cricket, they are playing against striving England team who after losing to Windies in first test going to take on the series 2-1 is the marking what awaits for Pakistan.
Team Combination
I am worried for team combination, as since Misbah ul Haq came into power, he has not been experimenting but over-experimentation, because of which consistency in team's performances because a performance requires consistency and the peace of mind, which in current scenario is not the case.
Whether to or otherwise
I am not denying inclusion of Fawad Alam, but why just like point-blank playing with the performances of the players? Has he been tried and tested? I do not have doubts on him but even in offices when we work on a newer Excel spreadsheet, we initially test it and confirm the test outcomes and afterwards we use to replace it with its precedents, have we practiced the same when we are including players like Fawad Alam and/or former skipper Sarfraz Ahmed? Why we're playing with the future of these players just like we have been? I am worried with the form England team currently is, Pakistan sports little height of individual brilliance but not with the overall team brilliant performance, as there is low chances of continuous team performances.
