England Women’s captain Heather Knight says her team are ready for the challenge of Pakistan as they embark on their first tour since Mark Robinson left his role as Head Coach.
Robinson’s former assistant, Ali Maiden, is interim Head Coach for the series, with Lisa Keightley set to take over the role full-time in January.
Keightley will be with the group from the second ODI onwards, with a watching brief.
“It’s going to be a big test but it’s one we’re looking forward to,” said Knight.
“A lot has changed since our last game together and we’ve got a few younger faces in the group – exciting players who are looking to make their way in international cricket.
“It’s a great opportunity for players to push for selection for the T20 World Cup in February but obviously the first priority is winning the ODI series.
“Pakistan have had some good results and shown lots of improvement recently so we won’t be taking them lightly, especially in conditions that are likely to be very similar to the sub-continent.
“We’re looking to take a little bit more ownership and responsibility as players and we’re looking forward to putting that into action on the field.”
