The PCB has confirmed New Zealand's tour of Pakistan for five T20I matches in April. The visitors will arrive in Islamabad on April 14 and play three matches in Rawalpindi from April 18 to 21, with a further two at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on April 25 and 27. The visit was given the thumbs up after a security designation showed up in Pakistan in February as a feature of a normal visit a few nations expect, specifically Australia and New Zealand. This is New Zealand's third visit to Pakistan since December 2022. They played two Tests and three ODIs in Pakistan at the turn of that, prior year returning in April 2023 to play ten white-ball games - five T20Is and five ODIs. Similar to the case last April, this series conflicts with the Indian Head Association [IPL], and that implies a few of New Zealand's driving T20 cricketers will probably be inaccessible. Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Trent Boult, Glenn Phillips and Lockie Ferguson are undeniably shrunk by IPL groups this season. This will be New Zealand's last global commitment before the T20 World Cup in June, and the initial five of 12 T20Is Pakistan are set to play in front of the occasion. "In a demonstration of the steadfast fellowship between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC), we are really glad to introduce the timetable for New Zealand men's group visit to Pakistan 2024," the PCB's overseer of worldwide cricket Usman Wahla said. "This visit represents the well established ties and shared regard that characterize the connection between our two cricketing countries. "Our eager cricket fans and individuals of Pakistan will invite the New Zealand group in the future and we desire to have one more serious series which is a vital piece of our development to the current year's ICC T20 World Cup." The series happens not long after the sacred month of Ramzan and the Eid occasions. That implies games will start at their typical time - 7pm nearby time. The last couple of rounds of the PSL have required a poor start as a result of Ramzan, occurring at 9pm.
