LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday, once again made a slight tweak to the schedule of the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand, scheduled to commence on April 27.

Following the revised schedule, issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Rawalpindi, along with two T20Is and the first ODI, will also host the second ODI against New Zealand.

The two ODIs will be played on 27 and 29 April instead of 26 and 30 April, respectively.

Meanwhile, Karachi, which was originally scheduled to host four PAK vs NZ ODIs, will now stage three ODIs.

 

Notably, the tweaks in the schedule marked the second instance as the PCB also made changes to the schedule last month.

It is pertinent to mention that this is an additional tour by the New Zealand cricket team and the matches will count towards ICC Team Rankings.

The PAK vs NZ ODIs will help Pakistan to prepare their side for the ACC Asia Cup and ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, while the T20I will assist the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to continue with their rebuilding of the side for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, which will be held in the USA and West Indies in June/July 2024.

14 Apr – 1^st T20I, Lahore
