Looks like England aren't going to be touring Pakistan now. That's not going to go down well.
Quite the contrary, both boards agreed it wouldn't be the best idea to go ahead as planned.

England's first trip to Pakistan for 16 years has been confirmed for October 2021 when they'll play two T20 matches in Karachi.
This adds to an already packed winter that will now see the team playing on five different tours.

Plans for England to go to Pakistan in January were shelved because it would have clashed with a Test tour to Sri Lanka. Several one-day players had already signed up for the Big Bash as well which would have weakened the England side further.

England did not want to cheapen international caps by picking a third XI and both boards agreed such a landmark tour, albeit a very short one, should be completed by a full strength side.

England will now arrive in Pakistan on October 12 and stay for four days, playing two Twenty20 matches in Karachi. Both teams will fly to India on October 16 for the Twenty20 World Cup.
 
First T20, England win the toss and are bowling.
