Pakistan is scheduled to play four Tests and a triangular one-day series also involving Sri Lanka when they tour England next year between May and July. Pakistan last played a series of more than three Tests in 1992, which was incidentally against England, under the captaincy of Javed Miandad.

The team will also play a Twenty20 international against England on the long tour, according to a report in The News. The tour includes as many as eight side-matches against different counties. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in their home season next year will play seven Tests against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, a triangular one-day series and two Twenty20 Internationals.

A Pakistan board official is also quoted as saying that Pakistan was keen to play five Tests in England but since the itinerary was already fixed under the ICC's Future Tours Programme, they would play four Tests. Pakistan have a break at the moment, and then return to the action with a bang in October, with a home series against England from October 22, followed by an Indian tour in January and the Asia Cup in February. Before heading to England in May, Pakistan tour Sri Lanka for three Tests and three one-day internationals.

The official said that Pakistan had asked the ICC to clear the dates for the Asia Cup as it was not included in the Future Tours Programme cycle, and the final schedule is expected to be decided on at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting in London later this month. Pakistan will be hosting the Asia Cup for the first time since the tournament was conceived in 1984. India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, UAE and Oman have confirmed their participation in the tournament.

Mortaza's figures would be worthy of any test side, 6 overs, 1 wicket, 2 maidens, 5 runs. It looks like Australia will get an OK score, around 250 but the match will still be alive going into the Bangladesh innings. They hit 190 against us and the Aussie bowlers have been a bit off form so who knows?

Gonna have to step the run rate up to even get 250 </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'd say they're ods on to get to 250. Both these batsmen are settled going into the final 10 overs in which I can see them getting around 100 runs as tends to happen, even against the top teams.
