ENG vs PAK Live streaming details, when & how to watch 1st Test of Pakistan tour of England 2026
The first ENG vs PAK Test is set to start from August 19.
The Pakistan Cricket Team are all set to face England in a three-match Test series, starting from August 19. The first Test match will be played at Headingley, Leeds.
Recently, the captain of the England Test team, Ben Stokes, announced his retirement from international cricket, while head coach Brendon McCullum was sacked from his Test team coaching role. The duo that made sure England came back from a very dark phase a few years ago in Test cricket is now no longer involved with the Test team.
However, Joe Root, who stepped down as the captain of the England Test team three years ago, will be captaining the team again, with Marcus Trescothick taking the role of interim head coach in the series against Pakistan.
On the other side, Pakistan also had a change in captaincy recently, with Babar Azam captaining them again as Shan Masood’s tenure ended. However, Babar Azam won’t be available to play in the first Test as he sustained an injury to his right hand while playing a warm-up match against the Professional County Club Select XI. In his absence, Salman Agha will captain the team.
