The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed that its national team will tour New Zealand next year to play three ODIs and five T20 Internationals. The series, the sixth between the two nations since 2023, was concluded during a meeting between PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) CEO Scott Weenink in Lahore on the sidelines of the five-a-side T20I rubber matches. During the meeting it was decided, in principle, to hold the tour after the 2025 Champions Trophy, which is scheduled to be held in Pakistan.
The meeting was also attended by PCB COO Salman Naseer and Director of International Cricket Usman Wahla.
As per the existing ICC FTP, New Zealand is also scheduled to visit Pakistan for a tri-nation series before the Champions Trophy.
New Zealand visited Pakistan twice in 2022/23 for a Test and white-ball series and Pakistan went to New Zealand in January for a five-match T20 match.
PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi, who is the country’s home minister, also asked the NZC official to convey Pakistan’s position and safe environment for hosting international cricket to other ICC members.
“The PCB chief spoke in reference to Pakistan hosting the Champions Trophy early next year and the need for all participating nations to play in Pakistan without any concerns,” the source said.
