Sky Sports has secured UK and Ireland rights to England’s ODI tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka later this month.

The agreement with the Pakistan Cricket Board’s international media rights holder, Trans Group, covers all seven matches from the tournament, which will be shown live on Sky Sports.

The series begins on October 18 when Pakistan play Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Harry Brook’s England play their opening match against Pakistan two days later.

Each of the three countries will play the other twice, with Rawalpindi hosting the opening three matches before the competition moves to Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. The final will be played on October 31.

England face Pakistan on October 20 and 25 and Sri Lanka on October 22 and 29.

The deal adds another England overseas series to Sky’s cricket portfolio. The broadcaster also holds rights to England’s home men’s and women’s internationals and domestic cricket, as well as England’s forthcoming tour of South Africa and the men’s Ashes in England next summer.
