It would be the first day and night test for Pakistan and West Indies.
The PCB had proposed that one of two Tests to be played as a day-night affair. Besides the Tests, the West Indies are set to play five One-Day Internationals and two Twenty20s against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in September-October.
