New Zealand Cricket has decided to tour the country twice in order to make up for their abandoned tour of the country earlier in the year. The New Zealand cricket team had arrived in Pakistan to play a limited-overs series but called off their tour abruptly on the day of the first match of the tour due to security fears.
As a result, England also called off their short tour of the country the following month. These incidents dented Pakistan’s hopes of resuming normal cricketing activities in the country. However, since then, PCB has confirmed that top international teams including Australia, England, and New Zealand will tour the country in the coming year.
Australia is scheduled to tour the country in March-April 2022 while England will tour Pakistan in September-October 2022.
Some wishes do come true! You wanted international cricket in Pakistan, and we have heard you. Here's the full schedule. Which match are you looking forward to?#harhaalmaincricket pic.twitter.com/f35qJoLYuU
