English Summer of beghairati (in cricketing terms)!

Playing no less than **24 international games **between mid-May and mid-September. I don’t see them as serious contenders this time anyway. I think the winner will come from India, South Africa or Australia. Pakistan’s batting is so unpredictable that it is impossible to make a sensible prediction about our chances in any format

6 Tests
14 ODIs
4 T20Is

Most of their players will be physically and mentally fatigued before the T20 World Cup in late September.

Eh, who cares. :naraz: As long as the money keeps rolling in.

re: English Summer of beghairati (in cricketing terms)!

England are only playing 4 T/20 and their T/20 team is different from the test and ODI side, so they won't be that tired. Don't see aus as big threat.
