Pakistan to tour Australia for white-ball series in November

  • Pakistan will play three ODIs and three T20Is on the tour
  • Series will take place in six cities from Nov. 4 till Nov. 18 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan are set to visit Australia for a white-ball series scheduled for November this year, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Tuesday.

The tour, which will mark the start for Australia’s white ball schedule for the summer of 2024-25, will comprise six games in total – three one-day internationals and as many twenty20 internationals.

The matches will be played in six cities from November 4 till November 18, according to the PCB.

“Pakistan will be returning to Australia after a gap of nearly 11 months, after having competed in the Benaud-Qadir Trophy, which comprised three Test matches played across Perth, Sydney and Melbourne in December 2023-January 2024,” the PCB said in a statement.

The three-match ODI series will begin on November 4 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, followed by matches in Adelaide and Perth on November 8 and 10, respectively. Pakistan last played an ODI series on Australian soil back in 2016, which saw the home-side come out on top.

Pakistan’s last T20I outing in Australia was in 2022, wherein the ‘men in green’ appeared in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup. The series will start at The Gabba in Brisbane, followed by action at the Sydney Cricket Ground, according to the PCB.

Hobart will be the last stop on the tour, where the final T20I will be played on November 18.
