ECB today announced details of England's winter tour schedule for 2011/12. The programme will include a five match One-Day Series and T20 International in India; a Test, One-Day and T20 series against Pakistan in UAE; and a two Test series in Sri Lanka.

ECB Chief Executive David Collier said: "We are very pleased to have agreed an itinerary with BCCI for the forthcoming One-Day Series which includes matches in India's major cities and will suit the needs of both the England team and our travelling supporters.

"With India due to play a series here in September, there is bound to be intense interest in the return contest in India this October and we look forward to what should be a fascinating series of One-Day encounters between the two teams.

"The remainder of the winter programme will see England travel to UAE early in the New Year to play Pakistan in all three formats of the game followed by a short break in the UK before the team takes on Sri Lanka in a two-match Test series."
