Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) have mutually agreed to shift the second Test in Multan to Karachi due to deteriorating weather conditions, which have already disrupted flight operations and may also potentially result in the loss of playing hours.

Earlier this month, Multan hosted the second Test between Pakistan and England – its first since 2006. Though playing time wasn’t interrupted but there were air quality issues. Both teams’ arrival to Multan was also delayed by four hours due to fog and visibility issues.

It has also been agreed between the two boards that the second Test and the three ODIs will now be brought forward by a day, meaning the second Test will commence on 2 January with the three ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League fixtures to be played on 9, 11 and 13 January.
