Pakistan to host first ODI Tri-series in 6 years, New Zealand and South Africa to participate - Check schedule

The ODI Tri-series will be a precursor to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), on July 5, 2024, unveiled the schedule for a bumper 2024-25 season for the Pakistan team. And this schedule included a rare ODI Tri-series involving South Africa and New Zealand as well.

This will be the first ODI Tri-series in which Pakistan will participate after 21 years and this will also serve as a preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament, to be hosted in Pakistan. The announcement was made on the PCB’s website with the announcement of Pakistan’s home international series dates.   

The Pakistan home season will begin with a test series against Bangladesh, who will play two tests in Rawalpindi (21-25 August) and Karachi (30 August-3 September).

Pakistan will then host England for three tests in Multan (7-11 October), Karachi (15-19 October) and Rawalpindi (24-28 October), and then the West Indies will visit Pakistan for two tests in Karachi (16-20 January) and Multan (24-28 January).

Bangladesh last played a Test in Pakistan in February 2020, and England swept the three-match series in December 2022. The forthcoming West Indies test tour to Pakistan will be the Caribbean team’s first since 2006 when Brian Lara’s side faced Inzamam-Ul-Haq-led side.
