“Cricket Australia is excited about the prospect of touring Pakistan next year for what will be a highly anticipated series in a country so incredibly passionate about the game and their national team,” said Cricket Australia Chief Executive Nick Hockley.

According to the PCB, Test matches between the two teams will be played in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, while ODI and T20 matches will be played in Lahore only.

It should be mentioned that the Australian team had earlier toured Pakistan in 1998 in which 3 ODIs and 3 Test matches were played, both series were won by the Australian team.

Pakistan looks forward to the Australian tour of Pakistan after last-minute series cancellation by New Zealand and tour cancellation by England’s cricket team.
