Should PCB Be Happy Welcoming A “B” Team From England

PCB would be very glad welcoming even a B-team from England owing to multiple reasons. For a start England hasn’t toured Pakistan in more or less 15 years now. Also, the ODI world champions have a busy schedule ahead of them. Hence, waiting for their full-strength side to visit the country might take a pretty long period of time – something that doesn’t suit PCB.

The board then should be very happy accommodating an ice breaking short tour that is likely to make way for a proper one next year. Moreover, if England come to Pakistan, this should also make way for other sides like Australia and New Zealand to do the same in coming months and years.
