Pakistan will host a tri-series for the first time in two decades in 2025 just before the ICC Champions Trophy. New Zealand and Pakistan will play in the series, as confirmed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday.
The last time PCB hosted a tri-series was way back in October 2004. Back then, the other two participating teams were Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
“The Tri-series between Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand will be an exciting event and it is after a long time that Pakistan will host such a tournament. I would like to thank the heads of NZC and CSA for agreeing to participate in the Tri-series," PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in a statement.
Before the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Dubai, Cricket South Africa’s chairman, Lawson Naidoo, and New Zealand Cricket’s (NZC) chairman, Roger Twose, met with PCB’s chairman, Mohsin Naqvi. Their principal topic of discussion was the planning of an ODI tri-series between Pakistan, New Zealand, and South Africa.
The mission was successful, as the series is set to be held in Pakistan in February 2025, just before the ICC Champions Trophy.
In addition, PCB chairman Naqvi invited Roger Twose and Lawson Naidoo to visit Pakistan.
