"How can we send them empty-handed?" Ramiz Raja's comment after England beat Pakistan.

The first English cricket team to tour Pakistan in 17 years was a huge success. Moeen Ali guided the squad to a 4-3 victory in the best-of-five series after Jos Buttler was sidelined with a calf injury. Although England's average skipper took a knock and may be questionable for the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup, the team nevertheless managed to defeat Pakistan on home soil.

Banners praising the England team for visiting the country were displayed by many Pakistani fans in Karachi and Lahore, the two locations where the matches took place. After Australia's entire tour of Pakistan earlier this year, Pakistan is continuing its reintegration as a host in international cricket with the coming of England. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja congratulated the English side on their win, stressing that the hosts would not let the visitors go home empty-handed.

It has been an honour to play host to England. After waiting 17 years to return, how could we deny them their prize? Ramiz said after Sunday's seventh T20I, "We're not letting them leave empty-handed, but they were the superior team."

Although Pakistan was decisively outplayed in the final two games, the entire series was relentless and exciting. It's clear that Pakistan has much to learn before the World Cup, but I encourage our fans to support the team. I've enjoyed serving England; thank you. He wished them a safe journey until the next Test.

After the Twenty20 World Cup, England will travel back to Pakistan to play three more Tests. Both will begin on December 1; the first will be played in Rawalpindi until December 9, and the second will be played in Multan until December 15. Karachi will play host to the third and final Test match on December17.
