Beyond these domestic games, the national men’s squad will embark on tours to Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa from 4 November to 7 January, competing in two Tests, nine ODIs, and nine T20Is.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi stated, “It was critically important for us to finalise, lock and announce our 2024-25 home international cricket season now. This ensures that both the men’s cricket team managements and the PCB event staff have sufficient time to prepare, plan and deliver these series to our very high expectations and standards, showcasing Pakistan as an outstanding cricket nation and the PCB as a thoroughly professional organisation.”
He added, “By announcing the complete schedule of home international matches, we are also inviting and encouraging our passionate local and traveling cricket supporters to plan their holidays. They will not only be entertained with some exciting and intense cricket, but also have the opportunity to explore this beautiful country, which has so much to offer.”
