England will make their first trip to Pakistan in 16 years for a two-match T20 International series next October as part of a reciprocal agreement reached between the two cricket boards.
The two games, to be held in Karachi on October 14 and 15, will form part of the 2021 T20 World Cup build-up.
Both the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and its counterparts from Pakistan on Wednesday confirmed that the tour will take place just before the mega-event in India.
“I am delighted to confirm that England will be touring Pakistan to play two T20Is in October 2021,” PCB chief executive Wasim Khan said.
“This will be their first visit to Pakistan by England for 16 years and will open the door for both Test and white-ball tours in the 2022-23 season.
England will arrive in Karachi on October 12, and both the sides will depart for India on October 16 for the ICC T20 World Cup.
