After the successful conclusion of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23 cycle, the ICC has announced the schedule of the WTC 2023-25 cycle.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the schedule of Pakistan’s WTC 2023 to 2025 cycle. Pakistan will start their WTC cycle by travelling to Sri Lanka for a 2-match Test series.
Before we look at their schedule, let’s take a look at their performance in the previous WTC cycle.
Pakistan’s Performance in WTC 2021-23
Pakistan played a total of 14 Test matches throughout the championship. They managed to win only 4 Tests despite playing their home games in Pakistan after a long time. While they lost 6 Tests and managed to draw 4 Tests.
Out of the six Test series, Pakistan faced Australia, England, and New Zealand at home. They had a wonderful opportunity to defeat these mighty teams, but they let loose.
Pakistan lost to Australia by 0-1 (3), England by 0-3 (3), and managed to draw the series against the Kiwis by 0-0 (2). They couldn’t even win a single match at home!
All four of their wins came on away tours, as they defeated Bangladesh by 2-0 (2) and managed to draw the series against Sri Lanka by 1-1 (2) and the West Indies by 1-1 (2).
Their shambolic performance left them in the 7th spot on the WTC points table.
