Cricket Australia has confirmed that the men’s tour of Pakistan has been endorsed by its board, and will begin in March.
The tour, which will be Australia’s first to Pakistan since 1998, will be headlined by a three-test series, with three one-day internationals and a sole T20 international also set to take place.
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley extended his gratitude to the Pakistan Cricket Board, and the Australian and Pakistani governments, for their efforts in facilitating the tour.
