England men's cricket team arrived in Islamabad on Sunday morning for the three-match Test series, starting from December 1.

England will be playing Test cricket for the first time in the country since 2005. England played a successful Twenty20 series two months ago in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, two legendary English players, Nasser Hussain and Mike Atherton, will perform duties as commentators. The duo shared their joy as they look forward to coming to Pakistan again.

Nasser last toured Pakistan in 2000 as captain of the England side. "Looking forward to being back in Pakistan for the first time in 22 years," he tweeted.

"Looking forward to going back to Pakistan to watch Test cricket again," Atherton tweeted with a video of people playing cricket on the streets of Pakistan.

The three-match series -- part of the World Test championship -- starts in Rawalpindi from December 1 with the second Test in Multan (December 9-13) and the third in Karachi (December 17-21).

Pakistan, currently fifth in the nine team championship to England's seventh, will hope for a series win in order to finish in the top two to play the 2023 final.
