Obviously we have the South African tour in March - 4 tests.
Leaving us with 5 tests completed this year, with 4 tests at the end of 2018 leaving us with 9 tests for 2018.
We play England in a ODI series in June in England.
After which there's no confirmed schedule yet until the summer.
There's probably room for a 2-3 test tour somewhere from July onwards....
We haven't played the WI away since 2015, however most of those tours are traditionally in Mar-April.
Is it then Pakistan Away the biggest chance in Dubai? We last toured them in October 2014 in a 2 test series
Not ideal preparation for an Australian summer, but test cricket non the less, and another test in Asian conditions.
I also noticed that Pakistan are playing Ireland in a test match in Dublin 2 weeks before their first test against England in May at Lords.
This looks like the new viable option next year as the "warmup" match before away Ashes series now with Irelands test status, rather than the micky mouse 2nd XI CC that they put out for us now.
