      <title>England hire team chef for upcoming tour of Pakistan</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30304807/england-hire-team-chef-for-upcoming-tour-of-pakistan</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The England Test side has hired a team chef for the upcoming Pakistan tour starting from December 01.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Ben Stokes-led unit will play three five-day games in Rawalpindi, Multan and Karachi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The appointment comes following a debrief of the limited-overs side’s experiences in the country during their seven-match T20I series.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to ESPNCricinfo, the feedback from the players and support staff was not good especially on match days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The publication in its report mentioned that no-one was ill for an extended period of time in the England squad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, given the demands of a Test match, and back-to-back matches across 21 days, having someone to oversee food preparation and tailor menus according to specific requirements and tastes throughout felt a necessary controllable to control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To tackle that issue, the team has hired Omar Meziane, who served in a similar capacity for the England men’s football team during the 2018 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2020.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mooen Ali, who was captaining the side during the absence of then injured Jos Buttler during England-Pakistan T20Is, also complained about food in Lahore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’ve been a little bit disappointed by the food in Lahore,” he said and then as an afterthought, he added, “Karachi was really nice.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is worth mentioning here that the Pindi Cricket Stadium will host the opening Test from December 01 to 05, Multan’s Multan Cricket Stadium will be the venue for the second five-day game from 09-13 December, while Karachi’s National Stadium, now known as the National Bank Cricket Arena will be the venue for the third and final game of the series from 17-21 December.&lt;/p&gt;
