Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formally invited England cricket team for a short tour later this year, local news outlets have reported.
According to the details, PCB has invited England to play three T20Is in the last week of October. Both the boards are working out the details and it remains to be seen whether the tour goes on in October considering most of the English players will be busy in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL will run from 19th September to 8th November in the UAE.
Reports state that the cricket board is confident of a positive response from England and Wales Cricket Board because the Men in Green agreed to tour England despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
