2015 Plans: Pakistan confirm England series
Pakistan will host England for a full series of tests and limited-overs matches in the UAE from next October, the country’s cricket board confirmed on Wednesday.
“We’ll be playing three Tests, five ODIs and a T20 match against England in October and November and it’s a home series for us,” said a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official.
Pakistan have yet to host any tours on home soil since militants attacked the Sri Lankan team in Lahore in March 2009.
England refused an invite to tour the country in early 2012, instead playing a series in the UAE, where the tourists lost all three Test matches but won the one-day and T20 series.
“We have an agreement with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), under which we will host them for back-to-back tours before they host us for consecutive tours from 2016,” the official added.
