Pakistan and Australia are going to play three ODIs and three T20Is in UAE in August and September as per official confirmation.
Interestingly, the three ODIs to be played at Sharjah between August 28 and September 3 are going to have an extremely late start at 6 PM in the evening and are expected to finish by 1:45 AM in the early hours of the next day! The obvious reason for this being the extreme heat conditions in the desert country.
While the three ODIs are going to be played in Sharjah, the three T20Is will be played at Abu Dhabi.
