Pakistan to tour Australia for ODI, T20I series in November

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the schedule of Pakistan’s tour to Australia for the white-ball series in November this year.

The tour, which will mark the start of Australia’s white-ball schedule for the summer of 2024-25, will comprise six games in total – three ODIs and as many T20Is – to be played across six venues from 4 to 18 November 2024, the PCB said in a statement.

Earlier, Pakistan visited Australia in December 2023-January 2024 to compete in the Benaud-Qadir Trophy, which comprised three Test matches played across Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne.

According to the PCB press release, the three-match Dettol Men’s ODI series will begin on 4 November at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Pakistan and Australia will then play in Adelaide and Perth on 8 and 10 November, respectively.

“Subsequently, Pakistan and Australia will face one another in the three-match Dettol Men’s T20I Series. The series will start at The Gabba in Brisbane. Action will then move to the Sydney Cricket Ground. Bellerive Oval in Hobart will host the last match of the tour, where the final T20I will be played on 18 November,” it reads.
