The English cricket team toured the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to play Pakistan in October and November 2015.[1] The Pakistan cricket team played their 'home' fixtures in the UAE due to ongoing security concerns in Pakistan since the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team.
The tour consisted of three Test matches, four One Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals.[2] They also played two two-day tour matches against a Pakistan A side, a 50-over match against Hong Kong, and a Twenty20 match against the United Arab Emirates.[3] Pakistan played a 50-over match against Nepal and a 20-over match against Hong Kong.
England's Zafar Ansari was ruled out of the Test series following a hand injury. He was replaced by Samit Patel.[8] Shoaib Malik was added to Pakistan's Test squad on 6 October.[9] England's Steven Finn was ruled out of the tour with a foot injury and was replaced in the Test and ODI squads by Chris Jordan.[10] Pakistan's Bilal Asif was added to the Test squad on 19 October after undergoing an evaluation on his bowling action.[11] Pakistan's Imad Wasim was ruled out of the ODI and T20I matches due to hand injury. Umar Akmal was added to Pakistan's T20I squad, after being cleared by the Pakistan Cricket Board.[12]
