The three-match Test series between Pakistan and England will start from August 19. The first match of the series will be played at Headingley ground in Leeds. Before this series, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has given a different advice to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He has said that current Test captain Babar Azam should be kept away from the English media during the England tour. In his place, former captain Shan Masood should be given more media responsibility.
Rashid Latif believes that the English media can put more pressure on the captains of foreign teams. He said in a show that the tour of England is not easy for any team and the media there tries to include the players of the guest team in different news. He said that Babar Azam is an experienced player, but Shan Masood can be given more responsibility of talking to the media. Shaan has played in England before and understands the media there better.

Babar was made captain in place of Shaan
Babar Azam took over the Test captaincy of Pakistan in place of Shan Masood for the West Indies and England tours. In his first Test series as captain, Babar led Pakistan to victory in Port of Spain. With this victory, Pakistan also ended the series of losing eight consecutive tests abroad. At the same time, Pakistan had won its last Test series against England 2-1 at home in 2024. After the defeat in the first test, Pakistan made a brilliant comeback and won the next two matches.
