Sharing photos on his social media handle, Ben Stokes said that they are all set for the Test series in Pakistan and have prepared themselves for this clash in Abu Dhabi.
Ben Stokes' side is scheduled to play three Tests from December 1 to 21. The side will arrive in Islamabad on November 27 after playing a three-day practice game against England Lions.
England's warm-up match overlaps with the opening day of the Abu Dhabi T10, which features two matches at the adjacent Zayed Cricket Stadium.
Ben Stokes, who spent time batting in the nets on Tuesday, is expected to stay out of the three-day warm-up, leaving Ollie Pope to lead the side in his absence.
The England Test captain is resting a troublesome left knee that he had to manage while playing a grueling nine T20Is in the space of a month, culminating in England winning the T20 World Cup.
The first Test will be played in Rawalpindi on December 1. The second Test will be held in Multan on Friday, December 9, while the final Test will be held in the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday, December 17.
