Pakistan will play three One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals against Australia in the United Arab Emirates in August and September.

Sharjah and Abu Dhabi will host the ODI series between 28th August and 3rd September with Dubai hosting the T20 games between 5th and 10th September.

Due to extreme heat in the UAE at this time of year, Pakistan had made a request to instead play six Twenty20 matches but this plan has subsequently been dropped.

The ODI matches will begin at 6pm local time and the T20 matches at 8pm, when conditions are at their coolest.
