Pakistan will play 10 T20Is against New Zealand in the 2023-24 season, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Tuesday (July 18). While confirming the schedule, the PCB announced that the T20Is are a part of its strategic decision to provide the best preparation opportunities for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

The Men in Green will begin their preparation for the T20 World Cup after the tour of Australia ends in January next year. Pakistan are scheduled to play three Tests against Australia from 14 December to 7 January. They will then fly to New Zealand for five T20Is and begin their preparation for the marquee event.

Apart from playing against New Zealand, the Babar Azam-led side is also scheduled to play three T20Is against the Netherlands, two against Ireland, and four against reigning world champions England. The additional T20Is have also made the PCB make a few changes to its Future Tours Programme 2023-2025.

The two-match Test series between Pakistan and West Indies which was to be played in Pakistan in February 2024, will now be held in January 2025. Similarly, Pakistan’s tour to New Zealand for three ODIs and five T20Is, originally scheduled in January 2025, will now take place in April 2025.
