The remaining two Tests will be played as originally planned, i.e. 7-11 October in Multan and 24-28 October in Rawalpindi. The match has been shifted from Kara­chi to Multan as the National Bank Stadium is undergoing major facelift for next year’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will also be played at the Lahore’s Gaddafi Sta­dium and Rawalpindi’s Pindi Cricket Stadium. England men’s cricket team will arrive in Multan on 2 October, while Pakistan men’s cricket team will also assemble in Multan on 2 October.
