LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a revised schedule for a series against England next month, ending weeks of doubt.
The first two Tests matches will be played back-to-back in Multan and the last in Rawalpindi, skipping Karachi where construction at the National Stadium has forced the PCB to tweak the current schedule.
In a statement, the PCB said that the series will start in Multan with the first Test from October 7 to 11 and the second Test — initially scheduled for Karachi — has also been shifted to Multan, as the stadium in Karachi is undergoing a major facelift for the Champions Trophy.
