No Stokes, Archer or Buttler.

Strong squad, but not as strong as it could have been.

Shame, archer would have been the weak link in that bowling attack. Someone like Woakes will be far more dangerous.

Pakistan played archer with ease last time.

Butler and stokes both are pillers of England cricket team.. why they are not included any particular reason

Top notch squad. Pakistan will have to play out of their skin to win an ODI or two.

No Stokes, Buttler, Archer and Hales, this is our best chance to get a series win in England. However, not taking Imad Wasim on this tour may end up being costly. If we lose this series, get rid of Mo Wasim, Misbah and give the captaincy to Rizwan.

Both are not fully fit.

Hope the series will be broadcasted in India. Can't wait to watch.

They will miss stokes and buttler but they won't miss archer.but nevertheless a strong squad.

Lol, calm down my friend. Pakistan are huge underdogs in this series. Anything better than a whitewash would be a massive achievement for Babar and Misbah.

If Pakistan make good team selections, we have a good chance of showing some grit and fight throughout this series.

However, our team balance is usually awful as we go in with either a batsman or bowler short.

The best possible teams we can make all mean that Shadab won't play, but his inclusion ruins a lot of good playing XIs.

Even their backup team is stacked, still seeing a 3-0 defeat

 

[Saj]

I'm a bit more positive after seeing the England squad, Pakistan could at least win one match out of the 3-match series.

Tough ask, but not an impossible one.
