While team captain Azam stood outside, three other sportsmen sat on a golf cart decorated with traditional truck art from Pakistan.
The four posed for the camera in an informal manner. However, Captain Babar wore tattered white slacks and a blouse of the same colour, paired with a denim blue blazer.
While Imam and Sarfaraz opted for sweatsuits, Shan went for a more casual style in a black sweatshirt and blue trousers.
The forthcoming Test series, which will take place from December 1st to the 21st, will pit the squad against England. After an absence of seventeen years, the English cricket team has returned to Pakistan to compete in Test matches.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will host the opening match of the series. After that, Multan will play host to the second Test, while Karachi will host the final Test.
