      <title>Pakistan to host England women's team in October: PCB
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30265403/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The England women's cricket team is set to tour Pakistan for the first time ever in October to play five limited over internationals, Pakistan's cricket board (PCB) announced on Tuesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;England, the reigning 50-over World Cup champions led by Heather Knight, are scheduled to play two Twenty20 games and three one-day internationals between Oct 10-22 at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The PCB said they were also scheduling a four-team domestic ODI tournament in September to give the players enough match practice before the women's World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe later this year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"We have not only planned quality-based competitive domestic tournaments, but also a major team such as England Women, will also be touring the country for the first ever time," Urooj Mumtaz, the chairperson women's selection committee said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Due to the Covid pandemic, we could only organise a T20 event in Rawalpindi last season. But this year we are scheduled to hold both One-Day and T20 events, including the addition of an Under-19 T20 tournament into our domestic calendar."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The PCB added they were in talks with another International Cricket Council (ICC) member for an ODI women's series before the team departs for Zimbabwe.&lt;/p&gt;
