Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a bumper home schedule for the 2024-25 season for the men’s team that kicks off in August with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Pakistan will be playing seven Tests at home including a three-match series against England and the Men in Green will hope for a different result this time around having lost 0-3 in 2022. The third and final Test assignment at home is against West Indies in January after the Pakistan team is done with the South Africa tour.

The home season also features a rare ODI tri-series for just four matches featuring New Zealand and South Africa, which will serve a pre-cursor to the ODI Champions Trophy in February-March.

The home season will culminate with the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 from February 19-March 9 with seven other teams apart from Pakistan taking place. However, the tentative schedule from ICC is pending BCCI approval due to the diplomatic relations with the neighbouring country.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan men’s team is also set to tour Australia, Zimbabwe and South Africa in the November-December period while spilling a bit over to January. Pakistan are set to play three ODIs and as many T20Is against Australia in November followed by three ODIs against Zimbabwe in November. December kicks off with three T20Is against Zimbabwe followed by a multiformat tour of South Africa featuring three ODIs, as many T20Is and two Test matches.
