The England Test cricket team will tour Pakistan for the first time in 17 years – but the wait may go on depending on the condition of the traveling players.

Ben Stokes' men have landed in Pakistan, though a virus has struck the squad, with a decision to be made at 2:30am on Thursday morning as to whether the match will start as planned or be delayed 24 hours.

Once the action begins, it will be England's first taste of international Test cricket since facing South Africa in September.

Captain Ben Stokes has enjoyed a largely positive start to life in the hot-seat, with a 3-0 whitewash of New Zealand, a series-levelling victory over India and 2-1 series triumph over South Africa under his belt already this year.

It has been a busy season for England players following their T20 World Cup heroics. Joe Root, Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad return to the fold for the Test action and will be raring to go – whenever that may be.
