Test squad fly out just two days after ODI series endsFirst of three Tests in Pakistan starts on 7 October
Marcus Trescothick hopes England emerge from a sardine tin start to the winter “unscathed” as he and seven players bounce straight from a cold, damp one-day series defeat to Australia straight into the 40C heat of Pakistan.
The Test squad departs for Multan on Tuesday just 48 hours after Sunday’s 50-over decider in Bristol, with Trescothick, interim head coach for this side but also assistant coach in the Test set-up, joined by Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Ben Duckett, Matthew Potts, Jamie Smith and Olly Stone in making the rapid turnaround.
