We Are Vey Much Looking Forward to Tour Pakistan: NZC CEO White

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David White said that New Zealand is very eager to return to Pakistan for cricket after 18 years.

New Zealand will be the first team to tour Pakistan as the 2021-22 season starts. It will be a huge entertainment for the fans and supporters of cricket in Pakistan.

England’s men and women teams will play with-ball series against Green Shirts before West Indies is expected to tour in December for three ODIs and three T20Is. Australia is also most likely to visit Pakistan for a full tour in February/March 2022.

“We’re very much looking forward to returning to Pakistan for the start of their home international season,” White said.

“New Zealand was the first country outside India to tour Pakistan and we share a close relationship with the PCB. It’s great that, after such a difficult time for Pakistan, international cricket is again being played in the country,” he added.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) CEO Wasim Khan said that he is also very excited that Pakistan will be hosting top teams this season. This will have a positive impact on the country in terms of security.

“Series against a top-ranked side like New Zealand will be a perfect start to a mouth-watering and highly-exciting home season of red and white-ball cricket.”

“I am pleased NZC has accepted our offer to play two additional Twenty20 Internationals. These will not only provide extra games to both the countries as part of their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup preparations but will also allow New Zealand players to spend extra days in Pakistan, familiarise with our culture, and enjoy our hospitality.”

“With leading cricket playing countries resuming their tours to Pakistan in 2019, I remain confident and optimistic that the 2021-22 season starting with the series against New Zealand will prove to be a catalyst in rejuvenating our talented youngsters while attracting new fans to the game that has the most passionate following in the country.”
