Pakistan’s Cricket Board said on Friday it will host South Africa and New Zealand in a one-day international tri-series, the country’s first tournament involving three nations after a gap of 20 years.<\/p>\n

The series was greenlit on the sidelines of an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Dubai, according to Pakistan’s board.<\/p>\n

International cricket only fully returned to Pakistan in 2020, following attacks on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009.<\/p>\n

Pakistan was stripped of its right to co-host the World Cup two years later, with security concerns lingering in the aftermath of those attacks.<\/p>\n

The country last hosted a tri-series in 2004, which involved Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Newly elected PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said the tri-series will serve as a build-up to the eight-nation Champions Trophy, the first ICC event in the country since the 1996 World Cup.<\/p>\n

“The tri-series between Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand will be an exciting event and it is after a long time that Pakistan will host such a tournament,” Naqvi said in the PCB release.<\/p>\n

“The PCB is also looking forward to hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 which will be a great pleasure for Pakistan to host the top eight ODI teams on its soil.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
