Coach Misbah-ul-Haq has left no stone unturned in his preparations but Pakistan still look decidedly undercooked for their three-Test series against England in August-September.
Skipper Azhar Ali and his squad will discover how much cricket has changed in the six months since their last Test, with Covid-19 curbs putting a stop to the use of saliva to shine the ball and forcing games to be played without fans.
The bulk of the squad arrived on Sunday after clearing a battery of tests and the matches will be staged in a bio-secure bubble, which will undoubtedly take some time to get used to.
England, however, should be well-versed in cricket's 'new normal' by the time they face Pakistan, with their home series against West Indies next month to be played in the same kind of bio-secure environment.
Pakistan left England with their heads held high after their last two tours, drawing both, most recently under Misbah in 2018.
