Pakistan’s cricket board ended weeks of uncertainty, including rumors that the series may be transferred overseas, on Friday by releasing an updated schedule for the match it will play England next month.
The Pakistan Cricket Board was obliged to alter the schedule due to ongoing redevelopment at the National Stadium in Karachi, therefore the first two Tests will take place back-to-back in Multan and the final Test in Rawalpindi.
According to a release from the Pakistan Cricket Board, “The series will start in Multan with the first Test from October 7-11 and the second Test – originally scheduled for Karachi – has been shifted to Multan as the stadium in Karachi is undergoing (a) major facelift for next year’s Champions Trophy.”
