The West Indies cricket team is prepared to embark on a highly anticipated tour to Pakistan after the T20 World Cup 2021, featuring ODI and T20 series.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced today that West Indies will participate in three Twenty20 Internationals and as many ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League matches at the National Stadium in Karachi from 13 to 22 December.
This will be the West Indies’ first tour of Pakistan since April 2018, when they competed in three T20Is.
The West Indies, who have won the 50-over World Cup twice, will be participating in ODIs in Pakistan for the first time since December 2006.

The December ODIs will be part of Pakistan’s fourth series in the Super League, which determines direct qualification for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The top seven teams and the host nation, India, will secure automatic berths, with the final two spots decided through a qualifying event.
PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja: “After missing out on home internationals in September and October, the West Indies tour will formally kick-off of an exciting and entertaining season of men’s international cricket in Pakistan with HBL Pakistan Super League 2022 and Australia’s first full series to follow.”
“The West Indies have always remained one of Pakistan cricket fans’ favourite sides. I am hopeful that the NCOC will support this series by allowing maximum crowds so that the fans can watch live in action their favourite players and back both the sides.”
