The Pakistan cricket team toured England in the 1962 season to play a five-match Test series against England. They also played a match in Ireland. The team is officially termed the Second Pakistanis as it was their second tour of England, following their inaugural tour in 1954. The Test series was the third between the two teams after those in England in 1954 and in Pakistan in 1961–62. Ted Dexter captained England in four Tests and Colin Cowdrey in one; Javed Burki captained Pakistan in all five Tests. England won the series 4–0 with one match drawn.

The Second Pakistanis played 36 matches in all, 29 of them rated first-class including the five Tests. They won only four of their first-class fixtures and lost eight, the other 17 matches being drawn. Their outstanding player on tour was Mushtaq Mohammad, who was elected one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year.

Pakistan squad

Because of injuries, the Second Pakistanis used 21 players in their 29 first-class matches. The team was captained by Javed Burki with Hanif Mohammad as his vice-captain. The team manager was Brigadier R. G. Hyder with Major S. A. Rahman as his assistant.[1] Squad details below state the player's club team at the time, his age at the beginning of the tour, his batting hand and his type of bowling:
