Team Preview of Pakistan vs England 1st Test Match Prediction 2024

England is once again going to play the test series against Pakistan at their home just like they had in 2022 in which they won the series by 3-0. It is going to be an exciting series for the England side who are looking to qualify for the World Test Championship final and right now they are in the fourth position with a 42.19% winning rate in the 16 Test Matches.

Ben Stokes is back in the team again and will lead his side for the upcoming test matches but the selection committee is still saying that he is recovering which might make him miss the 1st test match. Rehan Ahmed and Jack Leach are also back in the squad after missing the West Indies and Sri Lanka series to bolster the spin department which might be needed on Pakistan’s pitches.

Pakistan also announced the 17-man squad for the first test match against England which saw Noman Ali and Aamer Jamal get their spot in the squad which is great to watch. As the 37-year-old Noman is back in the squad he has great stats picking up 47 wickets in the last 15 matches.

Pakistan recently lost to Bangladesh in both test matches they played which made them sit in the 8th spot of the WTC table which makes it impossible to qualify for the final. It is going to be a hard test for the Pakistan side which has been struggling to win a match since the T20I World Cup.
