England won the toss and chose to bowl in the opening match of seven T20Is against Pakistan.
England handed a debut to Luke Wood, the Lancashire left-arm seamer, as part of a much-changed side. As many as six players who were involved in the third T20I against South Africa earlier this summer missed out in Karachi, with the most high-profile returnee Alex Hales at opener, more than three years after his previous appearance.
Pakistan also presented a first T20I cap to experienced top-order batter Shan Masood, carded to come in at No. 4, although there was no room for Mohammad Haris as Mohammad Rizwan kept the gloves and his spot at opener. Haider Ali returns for his first T20I cap since December, while Usman Qadir was included as the wristspinner and Shahnawaz Dahani is back after injury.
