Pakistan Men’s Cricket Team 2026 Complete Schedule

Pakistan had an ordinary outing in 2025. Except for a few bilateral and tri-series wins, most of 2025 was a hit-and-miss for the Men in Green.

But they will now look to make the most of 2026. They have plenty of assignments on their hands across formats.

Pakistan’s main focus will, obviously, be on the T20 World Cup. They also have four WTC series on the cards, along with several white-ball games.

Pakistan will host Australia, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, and England for limited-overs matches. Sri Lanka will also visit for Tests.

The Men in Green have a busy overseas itinerary as well. They will tour Sri Lanka for the T20 World Cup, with Test assignments in Bangladesh, the West Indies, and England. So they will be pretty much occupied throughout the year.

Here you can look at Pakistan’s international cricket schedule in 2026.
