“VGOTEL Mobile Presents @bank_alfalah Pakistan vs South Africa Test Series 2025 trophy unveiled at National Cricket Academy, Lahore. Hear from the captains ahead of the first Test,” PCB wrote on its social media handle.
The first match of the two-Test series will be played from October 12 at Gaddafi Stadium, followed by the second Test at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from October 20 to 24.
For the unversed, this will be the Proteas’ first tour of Pakistan since January 2021, when they suffered a 2-0 defeat.
Both teams bolster experienced players in their squad; however, South Africa will be without their regular skipper, Temba Bavuma. Bavuma was ruled out of the tour due to an injury, with Aiden Markram replacing him as captain.
