England to play two T20s in Pakistan before Twenty20 World Cup
The HinduEngland will play a two-match Twenty20 cricket series in Pakistan before both teams leave for the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in October. Both matches were initially scheduled to be played in Karachi, but the Pakistan Cricket Board on Friday said it was moving the series to Rawalpindi due to “operational and logistical reasons.” Pindi Cricket Stadium will host the games on Oct. 13 and Oct. 14. While the England’s men team will be touring Pakistan after a 16-year break, England’s women's squad, led by Heather Knight, will tour Pakistan alongside their men’s team for the first time. “We are delighted to welcome both the England men’s team and the England women’s team, who will be touring Pakistan for the first time,” PCB chief executive Wasim Khan said.
