I fear after Oval 1992 being the last time Pakistan played a five match series, the same could be the case with Oval 2016 being Pakistan's last four match Test series.

England from now on will only be staging 6 Tests per summer as opposed to 7.

Looks like India and Australia will play 5 match series only in Test Championship final years of 2021 and 2023.

But for everybody else it will be 3 Tests only from now on.

And of course, Pakistan only played a four match series when they played in England in 2006, 2010 and 2016. But you just wonder whether 2016 was the last one?
 
Looks to be the case considering the FTP. Though I think Wasim Khan and co. will be hoping that's not the case.
 
I don't think we will see too many 5-match series involving teams. Maybe only Ashes, Australia-India, and India-England. That's pretty much it.
