England will return to Multan, Karachi and Rawalpindi for the three-Test series against Pakistan in October.

Albeit in an alternative order, they are the same venues which hosted their last tour in December 2022 which ended in a victorious 3-0 whitewash.

The series, which is part of the ongoing World Test Championship cycle, begins at the Multan Cricket Stadium on October 7-11.

National Bank Stadium in Karachi hosts the second Test from October 15-19.

And the tour concludes at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, where England crushed 506 on day one two years ago, on October 24-28.

For England, it follows a Test summer which sees them face West Indies and Sri Lanka in three Tests each and comes ahead of a return to New Zealand in late November and December.

The PCB included the fixtures within an announcement regarding the Pakistan men's upcoming home schedule.

They welcome Bangladesh and the Windies for two-Test series each before hosting New Zealand and South Africa for an ODI tri-series in February which will act as preparation for the Champions Trophy.

On the road, they are bound for Australia and Zimbabwe for white-ball matches across November and December before an all-format tour of South Africa which runs until the second week of January.
