Pakistan announced details for New Zealand series: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Wednesday, March 13th, that the New Zealand Men’s cricket team will tour Pakistan in April for a five-match T20I series.
The New Zealand men’s cricket team is set to arrive in Islamabad on April 14th to participate in five T20Is. Three matches will be held at Rawalpindi’s Pindi Cricket Stadium on April 18th, 20th, and 21st. Following that, both teams will move to Lahore, where they will play the remaining two T20Is of the series on April 25th and 27th, respectively. The remaining two T20Is will take place at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on April 25th and 27th.
The series is scheduled to take place from April 18th to 27th, with the Blackcaps arriving in Pakistan on April 14th for adequate training and practice sessions ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which begins in June.
This will mark New Zealand’s third visit to Pakistan in the last 17 months, with their previous visits occurring in December 2022/January 2023 to participate in two Tests and three ODIs as part of the ICC Men’s Championship, and again in April 2023 they visited Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Karachi to compete in 10 white-ball matches.
