London: The England and Wales Cricket Board on Thursday announced the dates for England's 2010 home matches against Bangladesh, Australia and Pakistan, and the Australia-Pakistan matches to be staged in England.
England, who are due to play two Tests and three One-Day Internationals in Bangladesh in February and March, will host Bangladesh for two Tests, at Lord's and Old Trafford, in late May and early June.
A one-off ODI against Scotland is then followed by a five-match One-day series against Australia, which will give England a chance to avenge this year's 6-1 thrashing in the post-Ashes One-dayers, and a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh.
Australia will then take on Pakistan in two Twenty20 internationals and two Tests, at Lord's from July 13 and Headingley from July 21. England is hosting these matches because the Australians have decided against touring Pakistan because of security concerns.
England conclude their summer with a four-Test series against Pakistan followed by two Twenty20 internationals and five One-dayers.
The schedule for England's home series in 2010 :
England v Bangladesh series
Scotland v England ODI
England v Australia ODI series
Pakistan v Australia Series
England v Pakistan series
