England previously played a tour against Sri Lanka , for Pakistan it was the first tour of the season. The last meeting of the two teams on a tour took place in the 2011/12 season in the United Arab Emirates . The nomination of the Pakistani bowler Mohammad Amir caused a sensation , who last tested a test on the Tour of Pakistan in England in 2010 and was banned there for five years due to spot fixing . At first there were doubts whether he would receive a visa because of the prison sentence that was subsequently imposed, but this was approved at the urging of the English association ECB .
