PAK vs WI Test series schedule: West Indies tour of Pakistan dates, venues, full list of matches
Multan will host back-to-back Tests when Pakistan plays West Indies next month, the domestic cricket board said on Tuesday.
With stadiums in Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi being upgraded for February’s Champions Trophy, it has left the Pakistan Cricket Board with Multan as the only option to host the two-Test series against West Indies.
England also played back-to-back Tests in Multan in October because of the renovation work in Karachi and Lahore.
The West Indies squad arrives on January 6 and will play a three-day warm-up game in Rawalpindi against Pakistan Shaheens. The first Test is held from January 17-21 and the second starts on January 25.
It will be West Indies’ first Test series in Pakistan for more than 18 years, although both nations played a Test series in the United Arab Emirates in 2016 when UAE was Pakistan’s home venue.
The series is part of the World Test Championship. Pakistan is seventh in the standings while rock-bottom West Indies is ninth.
