Sky Sports will broadcast England's one-day international tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in full this October.

A deal agreed between Sky Sports and the Pakistan Cricket Board means all seven matches held across Lahore and Rawalpindi will be shown live on Sky Sports and NOW.

The sides play each other twice before the top two teams meet in the October 31 final.

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, Josh Tongue.

England face Pakistan in Rawalpindi on October 20, while they then take on Sri Lanka at the same venue two days later.

Harry Brook's men return to action against Pakistan in Lahore on October 25 and will stay there to play Sri Lanka on October 29.

The final is also in Lahore.

The series continues England's preparation for the 2027 50-over World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

Brook's side have won their previous two ODI series - 2-1 victories at home to India and Sri Lanka this summer.
