PCB announces packed 2024-25 season for Pakistan men's team

Pakistan are gearing up for an action-packed 2024-25 season, featuring an impressive lineup of Test matches against Bangladesh, England, and the West Indies. This upcoming season marks a significant milestone as Pakistan prepares to host its busiest red-ball international home season in over two decades.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced an ambitious schedule that not only includes seven Test matches but also an ODI tri-series and the prestigious Champions Trophy. The season kicks off with Bangladesh's arrival in August 2024, breaking from tradition as Pakistan rarely hosts matches during this period due to challenging weather conditions. The two-Test series against Bangladesh will be played in Rawalpindi and Karachi. Following the Bangladesh tour, England will make their way to Pakistan for a three-Test series in October, with matches scheduled in Multan, Karachi, and Rawalpindi.
