This will be Australia’s third tour of Pakistan since the historic March–April 2022 visit. During that tour, Australia played Tests, ODIs, and a T20I in Pakistan. They also featured in three matches of the ICC Champions Trophy held in Pakistan. Their only previous T20I at Gaddafi Stadium came on April 5, 2022, which Australia won by three wickets.
PCB Chief Operating Officer Sumair Ahmed Syed said the board is eager to welcome Australia back to Lahore. He described the series as an exciting start to the year for local cricket fans and urged supporters to attend the matches in large numbers.
He added that Gaddafi Stadium has become a familiar venue for Australia, having hosted a Test, five ODIs, and a T20I involving the visitors since 2022.
