Alastair Cook’s Ashes winners travel to the United Arab Emirates to face Pakistan in October and Sky Sports have won the race to broadcast the three-Test series.
England will take on Pakistan in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah with the first Test beginning October 13. They will also play five ODIs and three T20 internationals.
‘From the New Zealand series through to the Ashes we saw the development of a number of young players stepping up, and over the next five years with more than 50 England Tests, Sky Sports will be the place to watch them develop, beginning with this winter series against Pakistan and then South Africa,’ Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said.

England’s three Tests against Misbah-ul-Haq’s team will pave the way for a challenging winter schedule, where Cook will go on to lead his side against South Africa.
Cook’s men arrive in South Africa on December 11, with the first of four Tests scheduled for Boxing Day in Durban, which will also be broadcast on Sky.
England will head into their Winter series high on confidence after reclaiming the Ashes with a 3-2 series win over Australia.
