England captain Alastair Cook has admitted that he is "excited" by the potential that the current squad possesses.

Trevor Bayliss's side, who won The Ashes over the summer, travel to the United Arab Emirates next month to take on Pakistan in a three-match Test series.

England lost 3-0 to the Men in Green on their last tour of the UAE, but Cook has suggested that his side could turn the tables on them this time around.

"I'm really excited about the squad of players that has been picked," the batsman told the ECB's official website.

"I think the side can get better and better. The challenge is winning away from home, especially in modern international cricket. I just feel the balance of the squad we have got the chance of doing something very special over the next few years.

"Yes, there will be some tough moments but with the talent and potential I think it's an exciting time."

The first Test begins in Abu Dhabi on October 13.
