England to kick off bumper winter schedule with Test series in Pakistan

On England's first Test trip to Pakistan for 17 years in late 2022, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum masterminded a 3-0 clean sweep at the same venues where they will play later this year.

Barely a week after the conclusion of England's home summer programme on September 29 following their white-ball series against Australia, the first Test against Pakistan will commence in Multan on October 7.

The Karachi Test gets under way on October 15 while the series concludes in Rawalpindi with a match beginning on October 24.

England have three Tests against New Zealand inked in for December while there are limited-overs assignments to the Caribbean in November and India in the new year ahead of the Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
