Australia will be the first away series for the Pakistan team where they will play 3 ODIs and three T20s as well. Known for their formidable home conditions, Australia will pose a significant challenge to the visiting Pakistani side.
Following the Australian tour, Pakistan will travel to Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwean series, featuring three ODI matches and 3 T20s, offers an opportunity for Pakistan to give emerging talents a platform to shine.
The final leg of the Test campaign will take place in South Africa, where Pakistan will compete in a two-match Test series, three ODIs and 3 T20Is. The South African tour is expected to be particularly gruelling, given the host’s reputation for fast, bouncy pitches and strong home advantage.
