Pakistan vs England 2022: Schedule Announced For T20Is As England Gear Up To Visit Pakistan After 17 Years

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), on Tuesday (August 2), announced the schedule for the upcoming Pakistan vs England T20I series at home. The upcoming series will mark England’s first visit to Pakistan in 17 years. Jos Buttler & Co. will arrive in Pakistan for a 7-match T20I series.

The series will be played in Karachi and Lahore. The first four games will be held at Karachi’s National Stadium before the caravan moves to Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium for the last three games. The seven T20Is will be part of the first leg of England’s tour of Pakistan and they will return after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Australia 2022 for three Tests in December.

The Pakistan vs England series will kickstart Pakistan’s bumper season at home. Following the Test series in December, Pakistan will host New Zealand twice – first for two Tests and three ODIs in December/January and then in April for five ODIs and five T20Is. It will be followed by a three-match T20I series against West Indies before the 50-over Asia Cup gets underway.

“We are absolutely delighted to confirm hosting England for seven T20Is in Karachi and Lahore as a curtain-raiser to a busy, entertaining and exciting season of home internationals. England is one of the top-ranked T20I teams and them playing the shortest format in the lead up to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Pakistan will not only help the team management to finalise their preparations, but will also set the tone for December’s three-Test series,” said Zakir Khan, PCB Director International Cricket.

“We demonstrated our event planning and operational skills in the highly-successful series against Australia in March/April and I am confident we will be able to replicate these when England visit us for the first time since 2005. We have been able to confirm schedule of the T20Is following a successful tour by the England and Wales Cricket Board recce team, which was pleased and satisfied with all our arrangements.

“I am confident that the cricket fans, like they did in the series against Australia, will turn up in big numbers to support both the sides and also make our Diamond Jubilee celebration year an unforgettable one,” he added.
