England confirm dates for Pakistan T20s |
England will play two Twenty20 Internationals against Pakistan in Dubai next month ahead of their tour to Bangladesh, the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed on Friday.
The games, which will take place at Dubai Sports City, provide an extra chance for England's limited-overs team to gel ahead of the next World Twenty20 in the West Indies in April.
England will now arrive in Dubai on February 14 for their matches against the current Twenty20 world champions before flying to Bangladesh on February 21.
Once there they will play two one-day warm-ups, three one-day internationals, a three-day practice match and two Tests.
England Lions are also set for a busy time.
They will arrive in Dubai on February 7 before playing Andy Flower's senior side in a Twenty20 warm-up in Abu Dhabi on February 17.
After that the second string will remain in the UAE, where they will play three Twenty20 matches against Pakistan A followed by three 50-over games against the same opposition.
