thebalanced.newsAustralia to Tour Pakistan for ODI Series in Late May to Early June
The Australian cricket team is scheduled to tour Pakistan from May 30 to June 5 for a three-match ODI series in Lahore and Rawalpindi, with details being finalized by Cricket Australia. Following this, Australia will proceed to Bangladesh for another ODI series starting June 9. Previously, Australia sent a depleted squad for T20 matches in Pakistan due to player fitness and rest ahead of the World Cup, where they underperformed. Pakistan is set to play a two-Test series in Bangladesh in May and a three-Test series in England later this year as part of the ICC World Test Championship.
