Australia’s Arrival Date for Pakistan T20I Series Officially Confirmed

Pakistan is expected to use the home series as a key warm-up opportunity before the World Cup, testing combinations and player form in familiar conditions. Australia, meanwhile, will treat the Lahore fixtures as valuable competitive exposure before moving on to the next phase of their World Cup preparations.

Officials from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have welcomed the Australian squad’s visit, describing it as a high-profile start to the cricket calendar and encouraging fans to turn up in large numbers to support international cricket in Pakistan.

Australia last toured Pakistan in March–April 2022, playing Tests, ODIs, and a single T20I in Lahore. While Australia edged the T20I and Test series, Pakistan emerged victorious in the ODI series.

With both teams balancing fitness, form, and squad depth, the Lahore T20I series promises to deliver competitive cricket and valuable insights ahead of the global tournament.
