New Zealand Tour of Pakistan 2021

The Pakistan Cricket Board today announced that New Zealand will play three ODIs for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League and the Twenty20 Internationals on their first trip to Pakistan in 18 years.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will be the ODI venue on 17, 19 and 21 September, while the prestigious Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will emulate five T20s from 25 September to 3 October.

New Zealand will be the first side to visit Pakistan in what will be a bumper 2021-22 season for the local cricket fans and supporters. Following New Zealand’s tour, England’s men and women sides will play white-ball matches in Pakistan before West Indies are expected to arrive in Karachi in December for three ODIs and three T20Is. Australia is scheduled to undertake a full tour in February/March 2022.

New Zealand last toured Pakistan:

New Zealand last toured Pakistan in November 2003 when they played five ODIs. A year before, their last Test appearance in Pakistan was at the Gaddafi Stadium in May 2002, which is remembered for Inzamam-ul-Haq 329 and Shoaib Akhtar’s six for 11 in the first innings that set the platform for an innings and 324-run victory.
