Meanwhile, the three-match T20 series is scheduled to begin on August 29 in Leeds, while the second and third games will be held in Cardiff and Southampton.
Pakistan head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq has already called for the tour to go ahead behind closed doors as “fans can watch that cricket on TV sitting at home and they can enjoy it”.
