PCB is all set to host a New Zealand vs South Africa One Day International (ODI) tri-series in February 2025, after almost two decades.
The news was announced via press release by chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, Mohsin Naqvi on Friday, following his meeting with the Chairman of Cricket South Africa (CSA), Mr Lawson Naidoo and the Chairman of New Zealand Cricket (NZC), Mr Roger Twose.
“The agenda of the meeting included the ODI Tri-series between Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa, to be held in February 2025 in Pakistan, just before the ICC Champions Trophy,” the press release revealed.
Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi added: “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. I would like to thank the heads of NZC and CSA for agreeing to participate in the Tri-series.”
Naqvi also confirmed that, “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.”
It is pertinent to note, the last time PCB had hosted a tri-series was in October 2004 with Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.
