England announce tour itinerary for UAE
The England Cricket Board have announced the itinerary for the Three Lions tour to the United Arab Emirates to take on Pakistan, starting early in October.
The two teams will contest three Tests, four ODI's while the tour will conclude with three T20 internationals before England fly home in December.
The three Tests will take place in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Cricket Stadium and Sharjah CC between the 13th October and 5th November.
ECB chief executive officer 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.
