Pakistan's tour of England begins on July 30 with a three-match Test series. This will be followed by a three-match T20I series from August 29 to September 2.
The first Test begins at Lord's on July 30, and the team leaves for the tour on Sunday with 20 players and 11 support staff
Azhar set the auction price at 10 lakh Pakistan rupees each for his bat with which he scored a triple hundred against West Indies and the Champions Trophy 2017 jersey wherein Pakistan were crowed champions.
The veteran of 78 tests also said that cricket playing nations and players cannot sit at home for months and no cricket is held.
Azhar believes cricketing action should return in future "even it is behind closed doors" but without compromising on the health of the players.
Few former cricket stars and officials of cricket boards have said that cricket can resume slowly and matches can be held behind closed doors with proper precautions in place for teams, officials and other ground staff.
The former pacer also lauded Kohli for revolutionising the Indian team as far as fitness is concerned.
Pakistan continued with their dominance on the fourth day of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the National Stadium in Karachi as they declared at 555 for three at lunch, hence pushing their lead to 475 runs
Pakistan captain Azhar Ali has said that he would step aside from leading the side if he is unable to contribute efficiently for the team.
The under-pressure Pakistan skipper also made it clear that Sri Lanka would be a tough side to beat even in home conditions.
Pakistan couldn’t win a single international match in Australia, losing the Twenty20 series 2-0 and then the test matches, which were part of World Test Championship
Pakistan's Test captain Azhar Ali has said that the performances against Australia in the recently-concluded Test series were 'unacceptable'.
Three years after bagging the No.1 Test rank, Pakistan have managed just eight Test victories in 26 matches, better only to Bangladesh among top-9 full-member nations, and have slipped well below to No.8 spot in the ICC Test rankings.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting was left unimpressed with Azhar Ali, as well as the Pakistan bowlers on Day 1 of the Day-Night Test at Adelaide.
While Azhar Ali has been named as Pakistan's new Test skipper, Babar Azam will take on the responsibility for the T20I side. The decision for the ODI captaincy has been put on hold.
Sarfaraz Ahmed was stripped of captaincy and dropped from the Pakistan side after a series of below-average performances in international cricket.
Pakistan's head coach Misbah ul Haq is unhappy with Sarfaraz's performance and has reportedly communicated it to the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB's) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Wasim Khan.
Pakistan's experienced batsman Azhar Ali has hinted that he might be willing to reverse his decision to retire from one-day international cricket.
Sarfaraz Ahmed has previously led Pakistan to victory in U-19 World Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2017.
Azam accepted that Kohli's consistency and mindset over the years are what he would like to emulate.
