The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has just announced the official schedule for the upcoming men’s three-match home T20I series against Australia. All three matches will take place at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Kicking off later this month, this series will be an important opportunity for both teams to test their skills ahead of the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. The Australian cricket team is gearing up for a series of three T20I matches in Pakistan as part of their preparations for the 2026 T20 World Cup. On Wednesday, January 14, just a couple of weeks before the series begins, the PCB revealed the full schedule for Australia’s brief tour. In an official media release, PCB Chief Operating Officer Sumair Ahmed Syed shared his enthusiasm for the series and encouraged fans to come out and support both teams at the stadium. He also mentioned that the board intentionally chose Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore as the venue to provide a “familiar sight” for the Australian players, who have played several international matches there since March 2022. So, without further ado, here’s a look at the complete schedule for Australia’s upcoming T20I tour of Pakistan. Also Read | 123 runs in List A game!

In the three matches held in Brisbane, Sydney, and Hobart, the visiting Pakistan team experienced some tough losses, ending up with a 0-3 defeat in the series against the hosts. Recently, the Pakistan cricket team also hosted Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe for a T20I tri-series a couple of months back, where the ‘Men in Green’ clinched the title with a straightforward victory over Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi. Earlier this month, a three-match T20I series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka ended in a 1-1 draw after the second match was called off without a ball being bowled. For Australia, this series in Pakistan will be their return to T20I cricket after a two-and-a-half-month break following a challenging Ashes campaign at home. In their last home T20I series against India last October and November, the hosts lost the five-match series 1-2. Currently, several players from Pakistan, along with nearly all Australian players, are busy participating in the ongoing 2025-26 BBL season down under. The upcoming three-match T20I series between these two cricketing giants will be the last set of international fixtures for both teams before the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka next month. Interestingly, the Australian cricket team is also set to tour Pakistan again later this year for a series of three ODI matches.
