RE The discussions are believed to be concluded very soon over the international series between Pakistan and England in Dubai Sport City Stadium prior to the ICC Twernty20 World Cup.
Discussions are progressing between both cricket boards and the series of two twenty20 international matches to be scheduled after Pakistans Australia tour, Cricdb quoted UAE cricket authorities.
Pakistan finishing up their ongoing tour of Australia on February 5 while England currently in South Africa will head to Dubai after concluding their away tour.
Pakistan recently hosted New Zealand in UAE that include three one-day internationals in Abu Dhabi following by two Twenty20 internationals in Dubai. Pakistan was supposed to host New Zealand for a full series this year but the Kiwis refused to tour the country because of security apprehensions.
Later, the cricket boards of the two countries decided to split the series into two parts with the first leg taking place in UAE followed by the Test series in New Zealand in November-December.
