England vs Pakistan Test Series 2026: Schedule, Squads, Live Streaming – All You Need To Know

England and Pakistan are set to renew their Test rivalry when they meet in a three-match series in England, beginning on August 19.

The series is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle and will mark the beginning of a new chapter for England following Ben Stokes’ retirement and Brendon McCullum’s departure.

The series represents a crucial reset for England. Root’s return to captaincy puts one of the country’s most experienced Test batters back at the centre of the leadership group, while Harry Brook remains one of England’s biggest batting threats.

Pakistan, meanwhile, will hope Babar’s return can provide stability to a side looking to improve its position in the World Test Championship. Their pace attack could prove decisive in English conditions, while the likes of Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha will be expected to provide runs.

With England rebuilding and Pakistan under a returning captain, the three-Test contest promises to be a fascinating battle between experience and transition.
