A new era of English cricket begins with Stephen Fleming as head coach when Pakistan start their tour of the country for the three-match series.
Joe Root also returns as captain following Ben Stokes' retirement and will hope for a winning start to life back in charge. The visitors are touring England for Test cricket after six years, having lost the three-match series in 2020.
This opening Test takes place at Headingley, with the two subsequent matches scheduled to be played at Lord’s and Edgbaston.
Pakistan arrive following a seven-wicket win over a County Select XI as Saud Shakeel hit an unbeaten hundred and Imam-ul-Haq scored 80.
