Chris Jordan believes spectators in Karachi will be “overjoyed” to see England play on Pakistan soil for the first time in 17 years.
England face Pakistan in the first of seven Twenty20 matches and as part of the country’s return to the international scene since the end of a decade-long absence that followed the terror attack on Sri Lanka’s team bus in 2009. England cancelled a first visit there since 2005 last year but are now in situ and likely to be greeted by a sellout crowd of 35,000 spectators at Karachi’s National Stadium on Tuesday.
