Pakistan and Australia will face off in Test cricket for the first time in almost four years, when Australia travel to the UAE for a full tour in October this year. The teams will play two Tests, between October 20 and November 1, in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Before the Tests, they will play a one-off Twenty20 and three ODIs, across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Australia will play a four-day tour game in Sharjah, against Pakistan A, ahead of the Tests.
The teams last met in a bilateral series when Australia visited the UAE in August-September 2012. Then, Australia won the ODIs 2-1, and Pakistan won the T20s 2-1, one game of which they clinched in the Super Over. Their last Test series was in England, in July 2010.
