England's assistant coach Paul Farbrace has admitted that it will be very tough for his side to play against Pakistan, when the two nations square-off in the upcoming tour at United Arab Emirates.

Farbrace feels that Pakistan could be tougher than Australia, but insisted his side have to remain as positive as they can, the Express Tribune reported.

The 48-year-old further stressed that his side need to work really hard on their catching as it was what made England proud during the Ashes series.

Meanwhile, reflecting his views on a new-face England side, Farbrace said that they have got some really good experienced players and added that it would be a great chance with this group to play to the game.

Pakistan will play three Tests, four ODIs and three T20 internationals against England, starting from October 13.
