England will play Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Lahore and Rawalpindi in a one-day international tri-series in October.

Each team will play each other twice with the top two finishers meeting in a final on 31 October.

It is England’s first ODI tri-series since a contest against Australia and India in Australia before the 2015 World Cup.

After Pakistan and Sri Lanka open the series on 18 October, England will play the hosts on 20 October in Rawalpindi before meeting Sri Lanka on 22 October at the same venue.

Matches then move to Lahore with England playing Pakistan on 25 October and Sri Lanka again on 29 October.

The final will also be played in Lahore.

The contest begins England’s winter and is immediately followed by three ODIs and five T20s against Australia from 13 November.

England then play three Tests and three ODIs in South Africa, two Tests in Bangladesh and the 150th anniversary Test in Melbourne against Australia in March.
