It is understood as per The Telegraph that worries were expressed after several players got sick during the T20 tour of Pakistan in September, which led England to take control of their dining options.
17 years after their previous visit to Pakistan in 2005, England will play a Test series there. During this time in the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan twice hosted England. Prior to the T20 World Cup in Australia, England played a seven-match Twenty20 series in Pakistan. England later defeated Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the T20 World Cup final.
Brendon McCullum has previously made a concerted effort to trim down England’s bloated backroom staff. One of his first decisions as Test head coach was to fire the team’s nutritionist after an argument over bacon sandwiches at Lord’s.
The travelling chef will reportedly be Omar Meziane, who has experience working for both Harlequins and the English football team.
When the team arrives in Pakistan on Sunday, the chef will join them. Due to Ben Stokes’ sponsorship arrangement with Red Bull, the athletes are presently in Abu Dhabi where they attended the Grand Prix over the weekend. On Monday, they spent time on the golf course.
Harry Brook and Mark Wood, who are allowed some time at home after touring Pakistan in September and then travelling to Australia as part of the T20 World Cup winning team, are the only members of England’s team who have not yet joined up.

On Monday, Pakistan announced their lineup for the series. Hasan Ali and Yasir Shah are among those who were benched, while Shaheen Shah Afridi is still not healthy. The fascinating prospect exists that tearaway fast Haris Rauf, who has hitherto only played white-ball cricket, will make his Test debut.
