2024.07.05
Pakistan Cricket Board has released the complete schedule for 2024-25 season
With an intense home schedule that culminates in the 2025 Champions Trophy, Pakistan’s cricket season is heating up. August will see the start of a two-Test series against Bangladesh. Later on, England, the West Indies, South Africa, and New Zealand join the celebration; in February, a historic ODI tri-series adds even more spice. For the Champions Trophy, most of the matches will be held in Karachi, Multan, and Rawalpindi, while Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is being renovated.
Pakistan’s Test, ODI, and T20I series will take them outside of their own country to Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Pakistan is trying to move up the ladder in order to maybe have a chance at the Lord’s final in June 2025. The nine home Tests count toward the World Test Championship.
