Michael Vaughan and Stuart Broad are expecting to see a whitewash in the England vs Pakistan Test series. Both of the former cricketers opined that the host nation should defeat Pakistan 3-0 in the three-match Test series, starting today at the Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds.
In a brutal remark, Stuart Broad stated that Pakistan is a poor side, against whom the host team deserves to win all of the three matches of the bilateral series.
Talking on Code Sports, the former England fast bowler, who is now working as a commentator and cricket expert, stated that Pakistan has done some reinforcement in the Test squad but is still not good enough to win at least one Test match against the Three Lions. So he is hoping to see the hosts win the series 3-0.
“They've got Mohammed Abbas, who's come back into the side, who's 36, but they're a poor side. They're not a really good side. You would imagine, and you would think that England should win 3-0 and pretty comfortably,” Stuart Broad said.

In a separate prediction, Michael Vaughan, the former Three Lions captain, also predicted the same: a 3-0 victory in favour of the hosts. However, unlike Broad, Michael Vaughan did not make any brutal remarks about the Pakistan National Cricket Team in his prediction.
“England will win 3-0,” Michael Vaughan said, his prediction ahead of the 1st match of the England vs Pakistan Test series.

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) August 18, 2026Before the match in Leeds, the Men in Green camp has informed that their skipper Babar Azam will not be available to take part in the opening match of the series because of an injury, which he received during a practice match against a County Select XI. In place of Babar, Salman Ali Agha will lead the team.
Pakistan will have to play without Babar Azam
Babar was in form during Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies, scoring two half-centuries in two matches. Pakistan will miss the form and experience of its star cricketer in England.
“Pakistan captain Babar Azam is unavailable for the first Test match. Salman Ali Agha will be the captain for the first Test,” Pakistan coach Sarfaraz Ahmed said Tuesday.
The upcoming three matches are crucial for both of the teams, as neither of these two teams are at good position in the ongoing World Test Championship 2025-27 (WTC 2025-27) cycle. After playing 13 Tests, the Three Lions are ranked seventh in the nine-team league with only four wins and a rating point of 24.36.
On the other side, Pakistan, which has played only 6 matches, is right behind England, in the 8th spot with two wins and a rating point of 22.22.
Joe Root will lead the hosts in the series. He retains the captaincy role after the retirement of Ben Stokes. Stephen Fleming will be on the sidelines as the newly appointed head coach of the team, having replaced Brendon McCullum.
