England will play two T20 matches in Pakistan before the 20th World Cup

The Pakistan Cricket Committee (PCB) confirmed on Friday that the England cricket team will play in October with two Twenty20 international players for their first tour since 2005.

“The English men’s team will visit Pakistan in October to play for the two 2020 internationals. Both matches will be played at the Pindi Cricket Ground in Rawalpindi from October 13th to 14th,” PCB posted.

Eoin Morgan’s team and Heather Knight’s team will arrive in Islamabad on October 9th. They will depart for Dubai on October 15th. The participation will be held in Oman and the United Arab Emirates from October 17th to November 14th. Of the 2020 World Cup.

The English women’s football team will play three one-day international matches at Rawalpindi Stadium on October 17, 19 and 21.

“We are very happy to welcome the English men’s team to Pakistan for the first time since 2005, and the English women’s team to Pakistan for the first time,” said Wasim Khan, CEO of PCB.

The New Zealand cricket team will also tour Pakistan in September-this is their first tour after 18 years-and this is one of many tours to further restore Pakistan’s image as a safe host for international competitions.

The West Indies and Australia will also play in Pakistan in the next seven months. After the fatal attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009, Pakistan became a penalty area for international teams.

However, the rapid improvement in the security situation in recent years has gradually witnessed the return of international cricket, with Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and South Africa touring for the past six years.

The last time England visited Pakistan was in 2005. In 2012 and 2015, Pakistan had to host England in the United Arab Emirates.
