One of the Tests will be a day and night affair with the pink ball in most probably Abu Dhabi.

"The day-night Test is also on and we have plans to have at least 10 day-night First Class matches in our domestic season this year with the pink ball so that the players can get accustomed to Tests under lights," Pakistan board official said.

Pakistan has hosted its home series since 2009 at neutral venues mainly UAE due to other teams refusing to tour Pakistan because of security concerns.
