LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday announced the revised schedule of the New Zealand men’s cricket team’s tour of Pakistan for five T20Is and five ODIs next month. 

According to PCB, the tweaks in the tour’s itinerary were mutually agreed upon by the board and New Zealand Cricket.

The side will now arrive in Lahore and will play three T20Is from 14-17 April, before travelling to Rawalpindi where the final two T20Is and first ODI will be played from 20-26 April. The tour will culminate in Karachi with the remaining four ODIs to be played from 30 April to 7 May.

This is an additional tour by the New Zealand cricket team and the matches will count towards ICC Team Rankings. The 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 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.
