England, with one match to spare, recorded their first series win in Pakistan since 2000–01 and captain Ben Stokes put the feat into perspective.
Stokes told Sky Sports, ‘It is always difficult to come and win in the subcontinent.’
“We know what we have achieved this week. We know it is something that is not unheard of, but it is very rare to do so, especially as an English team.
“We understand how special this week is to accomplish, but as we keep saying, this series win and this win are just part of the bigger picture that we’re trying to achieve at the moment.”
