The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced that the national cricket team, famously known as the Men in Green, will embark on a journey to Australia for an exciting white-ball series set to take place between November 4 and 18 this year. This announcement brings forth a thrilling prospect for cricket enthusiasts worldwide as two formidable cricketing nations lock horns in what promises to be an enthralling contest.
The tour, scheduled to kick off Australia’s white-ball schedule for the summer of 2024-25, comprises six highly anticipated encounters in total – three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and an equal number of Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), all to be played across six prestigious venues spanning from November 4 to November 18, 2024.
Pakistan’s return to Australian shores comes after an interval of nearly 11 months, following their participation in the Benaud-Qadir Trophy. This earlier series, contested across three riveting Test matches held in Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne during December 2023 and January 2024, showcased the competitive spirit and cricketing prowess of both teams.
The much-anticipated Dettol Men’s ODI series will commence on November 4 at the illustrious Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), setting the stage for an intense battle between Pakistan and Australia. The action will then shift to Adelaide Oval and Perth Stadium on November 8 and 10, respectively. It is worth noting that Pakistan’s previous ODI series on Australian soil dates back to 2016, where they faced a formidable challenge from the host nation.
Following the ODI showdown, attention will turn to the Dettol Men’s T20I Series, where Pakistan and Australia are poised to engage in a thrilling spectacle of cricketing prowess. The series opener will take place at The Gabba in Brisbane, with subsequent clashes slated for the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and Bellerive Oval in Hobart on November 16 and 18, respectively. These T20Is promise to be a showcase of high-octane cricket, building upon Pakistan’s memorable journey in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on Australian soil back in 2022.
The full schedule for the series is as follows:
