Sky Sports has secured broadcasting rights to show all seven matches of England's one-day international tri-series featuring Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with the tournament taking place across venues in Lahore and Rawalpindi this October.
The agreement between Sky Sports and the Pakistan Cricket Board ensures comprehensive live coverage on both Sky Sports and NOW, giving viewers access to every fixture as the competition unfolds.
The format sees the three nations compete in a round-robin stage, with each side playing the other twice before the top two teams advance to the final on October 31.
England's campaign begins in Rawalpindi on October 20 against Pakistan, followed by their opening encounter with Sri Lanka at the same ground two days later on October 22. Captain Harry Brook's squad then travels to Lahore for their second meeting with Pakistan on October 25, before concluding the group stage against Sri Lanka on October 29 at the same venue.
The squad selected for the tri-series comprises Harry Brook (captain), Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton, James Coles, Jordan Cox, Mason Crane, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root and Josh Tongue.
This tri-series represents a significant staging post in England's preparation for the 2027 50-over World Cup, which will be held across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. The tournament provides valuable competitive cricket for Brook's side as they continue their development ahead of that major tournament.
England arrive in Pakistan on the back of an impressive summer campaign. The team secured 2-1 series victories against both India and Sri Lanka on home soil, demonstrating strong form in the 50-over format heading into this international assignment.
The broadcast deal underscores Sky Sports' comprehensive coverage of English cricket. The broadcaster shows all home England men's and women's international fixtures alongside domestic cricket, and will also cover England's tour of South Africa this winter and the Ashes on home soil next summer.
