Australia will host Pakistan in November to play three T20 Internationals, followed by a two-match Test series, as per the Cricket Australia (CA) 2019-20 summer schedule announced on Tuesday, 

"Scheduling international cricket is challenging in that nine of the 10 major cricketing countries have seasons similar to ours, so working with them to find space in the calendar to fulfil our obligations to the ICC Future Tours Program (FTP) is a juggling act,” said CA's Head of Cricket Operations Peter Roach, quoted cricket.com.au.

"The long-range FTP had three separate limited-overs series scheduled between India, New Zealand and Australia. When the countries started working through the detail, it was clear that there was not enough space for each series at the proposed times,” he added.
