ISLAMABAD, Aug 4 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 4th Aug, 2022 ) :British High Commission (BHC) Deputy Head of Communication Tom de Fonblanque was thrilled to see the long-awaited England tour to Pakistan, taking place in September-October, this year.
"I'm absolutely thrilled, it's been such a long time but we will win. Pakistan's been waiting for 17 years, it's time for some practice and play some cricket," he said in a video message received here.
England was set to tour Pakistan for a seven-match T20I series ahead of the ICC Men's Twenty20 World Cup 2022. For the first time in 17 years, England was set to visit Pakistan to play a seven-match T20I series in September-October 2022.
The series would kick off on September 20 in Karachi, where the two sides will play the first four games before the action heads to Lahore for the last three T20Is.
The limited-overs series would be vital to both sides for their preparation ahead of this year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup in October-November.
