England will keep on attacking: Mccullum

Brendon Mccullum insisted England will not deviate from the positive attacking cricket they showed over the summer as they look to continue entertaining in their first red-ball series in Pakistan since 2005.

England are due to start their first Test on Pakistani soil for 17 years on Thursday, having played seven T20I matches in the country during September and October.

England will look to build on an impressive summer which saw them win six out of seven Tests under the new leadership of captain Ben Stokes and head coach Mccullum.

“This is obviously a great place to tour and it’s been starved of international cricket for a long period of time,” Mccullum said.

“We are looking forward to coming over here and playing an entertaining style of cricket which hopefully ends up in results, whether that’s in our favour or in Pakistan’s favour.”

England will face Pakistan in three Tests – in Multan and Karachi following the first clash in Rawalpindi. Only James Anderson was there when England last played Tests and one-day internationals in 2005.
