ACS International Cricket Year Book 2013

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (12) Pakistan played their home series against Sri Lanka and England in the UAE. The match ICC Combined Associate and Affiliates v England XI was allowed by ICC as an exceptional case to retain first-class status despite a player being replaced due to injury, the ECB acknowledging their ignorance of the regulations.

The MCC again staged the traditional Champion County match in the UAE and so the match is regarded here as part of the 2011/12 UAE season.
