England confirm dates for Pakistan cricket tour in the UAE

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed details of the autumn series with Pakistan, to be played in the UAE.

The series will include three Test matches, four one-day international matches and three Twenty20 internationals with England scheduled to arrive in the UAE on September 30 and depart on December 1.

The first Test will take place in Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Cricket Stadium between October 13-17. The second Test will be hosted at Dubai Cricket Stadium from October 22-26 and third Test from November 1-5 at Sharjah Cricket Club.

One-day internationals are scheduled for November 11 and 13 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, November 17 at Sharjah Cricket Club and November 20 at Dubai Cricket Club.

A Twenty20 match will take place against a UAE XI at Zayed Cricket Stadium on November 23, before two international Twenty20 matches against Pakistan at Dubai Cricket Club on November 26 and 27.

The series will conclude with the third and final Twenty20 match against Pakistan on November 20 at Sharjah Cricket Club.

ECB CEO Tom Harrison said: “We are pleased to have agreed the schedule for this series with the Pakistan Cricket Board. Our last tour to UAE saw Pakistan win the Test series while we were victorious in both the ODI and T20 series.

“We expect this autumn’s tour will be equally hard fought and we trust that as many England fans as possible will make the trip to UAE to show their support for the team.”
