Why are Pakistan and England playing the longest T20I series ever: seven matches in 13 days. The first of seven (yes, seven) matches taking place over the course of the next 13 days is the long-awaited T20 international series between England and Pakistan. It begins on Tuesday night at Karachi’s National Stadium. When Malawi hosts Mozambique for seven men’s and seven women’s T20Is in November 2019, it will be the joint-longest bilateral T20 international series in history for both genders and the longest between full-member nations.

 Prior to the World Cup in India in February–March 2023, this series was originally scheduled to include five ODIs, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 T20 World Cup was moved back to October–November 2022 and the 50–over World Cup was moved back to October–November 2023.

In November 2021, Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the PCB, and Martin Darlow, the deputy chair, travelled to Lahore to meet with Raja and discuss the reasons behind their withdrawal, which Raja claimed had led the “Western Bloc” of cricket to “use and trash” Pakistan. The boards decided to add two more T20 Internationals to the series’ schedule while they were there, and both countries will rotate their lineups in order to keep key players healthy and fresh for the T20 World Cup the following month.

 Seven games will be difficult, according to Jos Buttler, who won’t be eligible to play again after suffering a calf injury until the tour’s Lahore leg. We’ll try to manage our squad throughout that because some of them are back-to-back. We need to take care of a few bowlers. We don’t need to take unnecessary risks in order to expose them and prepare them for battle. ” England’s head coach, Matthew Mott, said: “Seven games over here at first seemed like a lot, but I believe it will work in our favour. We can schedule some games for the returning players, and we’ll get to see various players under pressure in this.
