KARACHI, Pakistan, (AFP) \u2013 Pakistan has postponed a two-match home Test series against the West Indies until 2025 to better prepare for next year’s Twenty20 World Cup, officials said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said the team would now play an additional 10 T20 matches against New Zealand in the 2023-24 season, while a home series of two Tests and three T20s against the West Indies would be pushed back until January 2025.<\/p>\n
The move is a “strategic decision to provide best preparation opportunities for the T20 World Cup 2024”, the board said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Pakistan and New Zealand will play T20s in Auckland (Jan 12), Hamilton (Jan 14), Dunedin (Jan 17) and Christchurch (Jan 19 and 21).<\/p>\n
New Zealand will make a return visit to Pakistan in April 2024 for five T20s.<\/p>\n
The next T20 World Cup will be held in the West Indies and United States in June 2024.<\/p>\n
Prior to that, Pakistan also have three T20s against the Netherlands, two against Ireland and four with England — all away.<\/p>\n
The PCB also announced its women’s team will tour New Zealand in December to play three T20s and as many ODIs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
