August 28, 2018

Islamabad, August 28 (INP) – Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday has issued schedule for Australia series. The series will be played in UAE. As per details garnered, the two-match Test series will kick off from Oct 7. Pakistan will also play three-match T20I series starting from Oct 24. Following the Australia series, Pakistan will host New Zealand in the UAE for three Twenty20 internationals, three one-day internationals and three Tests between October 31-December 7. Pakistan has been forced to play their "home" matches in the UAE since terrorists attacked the bus of the visiting Sri Lankan team in March 2009. Although Pakistan has hosted a few international matches between 2015-18, Australia and New Zealand refused to visit the country due to security fears. Australia has not toured Pakistan since 1998 while New Zealand s last tour was in 2003. Inp/khan
