With still plenty to play for, it will provide an intriguing game of cricket with Alastair Cook, Mibah- Ul-Haq, James Anderson and Shoaib Malik all set to feature.

Following their second Test, the teams will return to Dubai International Stadium for an ODI (November 20) and two back-to-back T20s (November 26 and 27).

With big hitters Shahid Afridi and Eoin Morgan in action, spectators can look forward to some exciting encounters.

It looks certain there will be big numbers in the crowd, with so much talent on hand and with ticket prices starting from just Dh20 for the Test and Dh40 for ODIs.

The venue is no stranger to hosting cricket, having staged the IPL last year as well as welcoming various international teams.

Dubai Sports City General Manager – Sports Business Maqbul Dudhia said: “We would urge those fans contemplating buying tickets to do so as soon as possible, especially for the Twenty20 International matches on 26 and 27 November.

“Seats for matches in the shortest form of the game have always proved hugely popular at Dubai Sports City with previous sell-outs against Australia, twice, and in every match we hosted in the Pepsi Indian Premier League in 2014.

“The fact these upcoming matches have the added context of coming less than four months before next year’s ICC World Twenty20 in India give them extra significance.”

And he is sure the fans will enjoy a memorable visit especially in the shorter format.

He said: “The limited-overs matches will take place under the Dubai International Stadium’s Ring of Fire floodlights and with the usual, unforgettable atmosphere likely to be generated, it is certain tickets will be much sought after."

Tickets can be purchased on www.platinumlist.net or by visiting UAE Exchange Center outlets.
