The PCB was keen to host both matches, scheduled on October 14 and 15 in the UAE. However, with the second half of IPL 2021 and the T20 World Cup scheduled in the UAE, Pakistan had to scrap their plans.
Speaking to The Telegraph, a source said:
With the bilateral series between England and Pakistan all but over, the English cricketers will now travel to the UAE for the second half of the 2021 Indian Premier League. The source added that the cricketers are keen to play in the marquee T20 league to prepare for the ICC T20 World Cup.
Previously, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was firm that they would not release their players for the second half of the IPL 2021. But with the Bangladesh series postponed and the Pakistan tour in jeopardy, officials have softened their stance and allowed their players to take part in the cash-rich league.
England tour of Bangladesh pushed back to 2023
The ECB and Bangladesh Cricket Board (ECB) have mutually decided to postpone England’s tour of Bangladesh to March 2023. The limited-overs series was originally scheduled to take place in September 2021 ahead of the T20 World Cup.
The developments will now allow both England and Bangladesh cricketers to take part in the second half of IPL 2021 scheduled to start on September 19.
