Pakistan to play two Test series in England next year

Lahore/London, Aug.28 (ANI): Pakistan will play a 'home' Test series against Australia in England next year. It will also play a series against England.

Pakistan will play six Test matches in the two series, a statement released by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said.

Pakistan and Australia will play two Twenty20 matches and two Test matches from July 5 to July 25.

The T20 world champions will then play a four-match Test series against England from July 29 to August 30, and five ODIs and two Twenty 20 Internationals from September 5 to 21.

An APP report said Pakistan has been forced to play its home matches abroad after foreign countries refused to come due to security fears in the wake of the terrorist attack on Sri Lankan team in Lahore in March this year. (ANI)
