Pakistan vs. England Test Series: Revised Schedule Announced by PCB
Pakistan vs. England test Revised Schedule has officially released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the much-awaited three-match Test series between Pakistan and England. The series, initially planned from October 7 to 28, has undergone a few adjustments to accommodate logistical changes and venue preparations.
Updated Schedule and Venue Changes
The series will kick off on October 7 at the Multan Cricket Stadium, where the first Test match will be held from October 7 to 11. This change also affects the second Test, which was originally scheduled at the National Stadium in Karachi. It has now been moved to Multan, taking place from October 15 to 19.
Teams | Date | Stadiums |
Eng vs Pak | 7-11 October | Multan |
Eng vs Pak | 15-19 October | Multan |
Eng vs Pak | 24-28 October | Rawalpindi |
The final showdown between the two cricketing giants will be hosted at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi, from October 24 to 28.
Why the Change in Venues?
The shift in venues is primarily due to the National Bank Stadium in Karachi undergoing significant renovations in preparation for next year’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The renovation aims to uplift the infrastructure and facilities at the venue, which will also play a role in the ICC event along with Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium and the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Teams’ Arrival and Preparation
The England men’s cricket team is set to arrive in Multan on October 2, where they will begin their preparations. The Pakistan team will also assemble in Multan on the same day, marking the start of their training and preparations for this high-profile series.
PCB’s Commitment to an Exciting Series
PCB Director Usman Wahla expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming series, saying, “The PCB is thrilled to welcome the England men’s cricket team back to Pakistan. Despite minor adjustments, we are committed to supporting fans and ensuring a memorable tour. We look forward to a fiercely competitive Test series and showcasing Pakistan’s renowned hospitality.”
