The Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday released it official jersey for the T20 World Cup 2022, that starts in Australia in less than a month's time. The Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team starts its campaign with a game against India on October 23. Before the marquee tournament, the jersey was revealed in a social media post with the caption: "The Big Reveal! Presenting the official Pakistan T20I Thunder Jersey'22."
KARACHI, Pakistan: England made a triumphant return to Pakistan after 17 years with a six-wicket win in the first Twenty20 on Tuesday. Debutant left-arm fast bowler Luke Wood grabbed 3-24 to help limit Pakistan to 158-7 after captain Moeen Ali won the toss in his country of roots and elected to field. Alex Hales, in his return to England colors after more than three years, smashed 53 off 40 balls and led the visitors to 160-4 in 19.2 overs.
England opener Alex Hales hit a superb half-century and Harry Brook made an unbeaten 42 as they beat hosts Pakistan by six wickets in their Twenty20 meeting on Tuesday - their first match in the Asian country for 17 years.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam is one of the best players going around in present-day cricket, however, his strike rate is always a point of debate when one talks about the shortest format of the game. Babar is ranked at No.3 spot in T20I rankings, however, he has often been criticised for his strike-rate when he comes out to open the batting alongside Mohammad Rizwan. Earlier this month, former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed had taken a dig at Babar, saying whenever his side came up against Karachi Kings which Babar leads in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), they never tried to dismiss Babar because of the pace at which he bats.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam said Monday that he hopes a seven-match series against England starting in Karachi this week will help him return to his best scoring form, after a lean Asia Cup earlier this month. The 27-year-old managed just 68 runs in six games in the United Arab Emirates, where Pakistan finished runners-up to Sri Lanka. England are on their first tour of Pakistan for 17 years, in a series seen as part of the build-up towards next month's men's Twenty20 World Cup in Australia. "I hope to return to my best in this series... and it will be good if it happens before the World Cup," Azam told reporters on Monday.

England were initially scheduled to tour Pakistan last year but it did not materialise because of security concerns. Jos Buttler's men were only given the green light to tour this year after a security team evaluated the situation on the ground. England will play four matches in Karachi and three in Lahore before returning in December to play three tests in the second leg of the tour.
