Pakistan will begin their three-match home Test series against England on 1 December 2022. After a long gap of 17 years, England reached Pakistan to play the Test series. However, ahead of the series, England dealt with a major blow on 30 November. Reports came out that 14 members of England’s touring team have fallen ill due to a virus.
It is unknown what kind of virus it is. Among the sick players is their captain Ben Stokes. Only Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Keaton Jennings, Ollie Pope, and Joe Root survived that virus. So, there were reports also that the first Test match might get canceled. Regarding that, both the Board shared their stance on Twitter. In response to that, Stuart Broad and Naseer Husain got involved in a funny Twitter conversation.
Here are the tweets:
The PCB and ECB are in discussions regarding the commencement of the 1st #PAKvENG Test as some England players are down with viral infection. The PCB continues to monitor the situation, is in contact with the ECB and will provide further updates in due course.
The first match between Pakistan and England will happen in Rawalpindi
Regarding that matter, Pakistan Cricket Board wrote: “The PCB and ECB are in discussions regarding the commencement of the 1st #PAKvENG Test as some England players are down with viral infection. The PCB continues to monitor the situation, is in contact with the ECB, and will provide further updates in due course.”
After that, the England Cricket Board wrote: “We are in discussions with the PCB regarding the start of the first Test due to a viral infection within our camp.” In response to that, Stuart Broad shared a picture consisting of former England players, Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain. He wrote: “An option? @Athersmike @nassercricket”
In reply to that, Naseer Hussain wrote: “Siri show me the opposite of Bazball !!!” However, on 28 November 2022, Ben Stokes said that all the match fees from the upcoming Test series will be donated to the flood victims in Pakistan. He wrote: “It is great to be in Pakistan for the first time for this historic series. To be back here after 17 years as a Test side is very exciting. There is a sense of responsibility amongst the playing and support group and to be there is special.”
