Pakistan vs South Africa (Home)
Pakistan’s WTC 2025-27 campaign will commence against the new champions, South Africa. They will host the Proteas for two Tests in October 2025.
In their last encounter in Pakistan in 2021, the home side registered a comfortable 2-0 series victory. So Pakistan will be eager to keep the new WTC champions in check at home.
Bangladesh vs Pakistan (Away)
2026 will see Pakistan play three back-to-back away series. The first of the three away series will be in Bangladesh.
It will be a two-match series in March 2027. As Pakistan land in Bangladesh, they would like to avenge the 2024 series defeat suffered back home.
West Indies vs Pakistan (Away)
Pakistan’s second away fixture will pan out in the West Indies. They will tour the Caribbean in July-August 2026 for two Tests.
On their last trip in 2021, Pakistan fell short of a series win, as the hosts managed a 1-1 draw. But this time, they would like to go a step ahead and win their first series in the West Indies since 2017.
England vs Pakistan (Away)
Pakistan will immediately travel to England for their third away series. The series stretches from late August to September 2026.
Both teams will play three Tests in the English summer season. This will be Pakistan’s first series in England after their 0-1 defeat in 2020.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka (Home)
After their away series leg ends, Pakistan will be back home. On their return, they will host Sri Lanka in November 2026. The two Asian sides will lock horns in two Tests.
The last time Pakistan hosted Sri Lanka in 2019, they beat the visitors 1-0 in the two-match series.
Pakistan vs New Zealand (Home)
Pakistan will conclude their WTC 2025-27 cycle with a home series against New Zealand. They will host the Kiwis for a two-match series in March 2027.
Their last series in 2022 ended in a 0-0 dull draw, with neither side winning a Test of the two matches.
