ISLAMABAD – Pakistan cricket team emerge out to be the best Asian Team inEngland.

With Indian tour to England over with a 4-1 thrashing, the debate of thebest Asian traveling team has begun in cricketing circles.

While Indian Captain Virat Kohli claimed this Indian side to be the bestIndian team in 15 years, the England team made sure there were somequestions asked about Kohli’s claims.

Pakistan may not be a good test side especially in the overseas conditions,however, when it comes to England, Pakistan is far better than the otherAsian teams.

Let’s compare the records of all Asian teams in England.TeamMatchesWonLostDrawnWin/Loss RatioPakistan 53 12 23 18 0.52India 62 7 34 3 0.21Sri Lanka 18 3 8 7 0.38Bangladesh 4 0 4 0 0.00

The table perfectly sums everything up, putting to rest all the hollowclaims made by the Indians.

Pakistan’s last two outings in England have been very productive forPakistan cricket, especially the 2016 tour. Pakistan has not lost a seriesto England since 2010, drawing two series in England while winning theother two in UAE comprehensively by margins of 3-0 and 2-0.
