England will tour Pakistan for the second time in two years after announcing a three-Test series in Multan, Karachi and Rawalpindi in October.
England made their first Test trip to Pakistan for 17 years in 2022 when Ben Stokes’ side won the series 3-0 at the same venues they will visit later this year.
Just a week after England’s home summer programme finishes on 29 September, following their white-ball series against Australia, the first Test against Pakistan will start in Multan on 7 October.
The Karachi Test gets under way on 15 October, with the series concluding in Rawalpindi with a match beginning on 24 October.
England have three Tests against New Zealand scheduled for December and also have limited-overs assignments against the West Indies in November and India in the new year.
