Ben Stokes is captain of an inexperienced England side for the ODI series against Pakistan. The team is very inexperienced, with six players having never played international cricket. Pakistan won the last OIIs against England 4-0. Seven of the team that won Champions Trophy are on this tour. Pakistan's OIs are very good and most bookmakers rate England as slight outsiders for first OICD in Cardiff. Shaheen Shah Afridi took 16 wickets in five matches at the 2019 World Cup and Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali and Mohammad Hasnain are also classy operators.
