Pakistan will host South Africa for a tour in October 2025 that will include all formats.
The ICC confirmed on Saturday that Pakistan will start its ICC World Test Championship 2025–27 campaign with a two-Test home series against defending champion South Africa on October 12. This will be followed by three T20Is and three ODIs.
This will be South Africa’s first Test series in Pakistan since 2021, when Babar Azam’s team triumphed 2–0.
The ICC said that Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium will host its first 50-over international in 17 years. The last ODI there was against Bangladesh in April 2008.
“We are looking forward to welcoming South Africa for the first series of our ICC World Test Championship 2025–27 campaign,” said Sumair Ahmed Syed, the PCB’s chief operations officer. He also said that the return of ODI cricket to Faisalabad is a big deal for a place that has a proud role in Pakistan’s cricket history.
