Pakistan have confirmed they will tour England for three Tests and three T20 internationals in August and September.
It was widely anticipated Pakistan would make the trip to England later this summer but this is the first time they have confirmed they will travel, with the exact schedule to be announced at a later date.

- Holder: Huge step forward for cricket
- Brown hungry for further England action
The Pakistan Cricket Board intends to send 28 players and 14 support personnel, although seamer Mohammad Amir and batsman Haris Sohail will not be among that number after withdrawing for personal reasons.
"Amir has withdrawn so that he can be at the birth of his second child in August, while Haris will miss the tour because of family reasons," a PCB statement read.
The news comes after Pakistan appointed Younis Khan and Mushtaq Ahmed as members of their coaching staff, alongside the decision to cancel a training camp in Lahore due to a rise of coronavirus cases in the country.
Younis - Pakistan's leading run-scorer in Test cricket after hitting 10,099 runs, including 34 hundreds, between his debut in 2000 and when he retired in 2017 - will work with the team's batsmen.
Mushtaq Ahmed will serve as Pakistan's spin-bowling coach for the tour - the 49-year-old claimed 185 Test wickets with his leg-spin and has since worked with England's spinners in a coaching capacity.
Younis and Mushtaq will work with head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis.
