- ECB exploring possibility of short T20 series in January
- Tour could take place in parallel with Tests in Sri Lanka

Pakistan were one of four boards that sent teams to the UK this year in a feat that helped the England and Wales Cricket Board to keep its losses to around £100m, rather than the £380m doomsday scenario forecast in the event of a fully wiped out season.
