England to Host Pakistan, Sri Lanka in 2016 Summer

London: England are set to play three home Tests against Sri Lanka and four against Pakistan next year, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed.

Tom Harrison, the ECB chief executive officer, said in a statement that Pakistan and Sri Lanka would attract strong support from their own communities in the country, Sport24 reported.

Harrison added that England fans had been unwavering in their support this summer and they would urge as many as possible to return to their international venues next summer.

England will also square off against both Sri Lanka and Pakistan in five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match.

Pakistan, who are also England's opponents in a three-test series in the United Arab Emirates in October, will play tests at Lord's, Manchester, Birmingham and The Oval.

The home team will bid to avenge last year's 1-0 test series defeat by Sri Lanka in matches in Leeds, Durham and Lord's.
