West Indies Test Team to Tour Pakistan After 19 Years, Schedule Finalized

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed today (December 24) that the West Indies men's cricket team will tour Pakistan to play two matches as part of the ICC World Test Championship.

The West Indies team will arrive in Islamabad on January 6 and will play a three-day match against Pakistan Shaheens at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from January 10 to 12. They will then proceed to Multan for two consecutive Tests against Pakistan. The first Test will take place from January 17 to 21, and the second from January 25 to 29.

This tour marks the West Indies' first Test series in Pakistan in 19 years. Their last Test tour to Pakistan was in November 2006, during which they played three matches. The last away Test series between the two teams took place in October 2016 in the United Arab Emirates. However, since April 2018, the West Indies team has visited Pakistan three times—for an ODI series in June 2022 and two T20I series in April 2018 and December 2021.

January 10-12 – Three-day match vs. Pakistan Shaheens, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
