Australia to Tour Pakistan for White-Ball Series in 2026

Cricket fans have reason to celebrate as Australia is confirmed to tour Pakistan for a white-ball series in early 2026. The tour, part of the ICC’s Future Tours Programme (FTP) 2025–2027, will feature three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). The matches are expected to take place between February and March 2026.

Renewing Cricketing Ties

Cricket Australia (CA) has expressed excitement about returning to Pakistan, with their officials highlighting the positive experience from the 2022 tour, which marked Australia's return to Pakistani soil after 24 years. According to CA’s CEO, maintaining strong bilateral cricket relations is a key priority.

"We’ve had great communication with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). We’re eager to explore more opportunities for both red and white-ball cricket," the CA representative noted during a recent press interaction.

Pakistani Players in Big Bash League

In addition to international matches, Cricket Australia is working on increasing the presence of Pakistani players in the Big Bash League (BBL). Fans in Australia have shown strong interest in Pakistani stars, and CA believes their participation would benefit both the players and the league.

"Top Pakistani cricketers are always welcomed by fans here. If more of them join the BBL, it will make the league more exciting and diverse," the CEO added.

Competitive History Sets the Stage

Australia’s visit comes after a thrilling series in 2024, where Pakistan won the ODI series 2-1 under Mohammad Rizwan’s leadership. This marked Pakistan's first ODI series win in Australia since 2002. However, Australia bounced back with a clean 3-0 sweep in the T20Is.
