Pak vs WI: PCB announces ODI schedule for WI tour

After the Covid-19 pandemic postponed the matches last year, Rawalpindi is preparing to host three one-day internationals (ODIs) against the West Indies in June.

According to a statement released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday, these one-dayers will be held in conjunction with the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League.

The West Indies will arrive in Islamabad on June 5 for the one-day internationals, which will be held at Pindi Cricket Stadium on June 8, 10, and 12.

The ODIs were part of the West Indies’ December 2021 tour of Pakistan. However, after five COVID-19 cases were reported in the West Indies camp, they were postponed with mutual accord.

“The West Indies have also agreed to play three T20Is in early 2023, the schedule of which will be announced in due course,” it said.

The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League includes the One-Day Internationals. The top seven teams from this tournament, as well as the hosts of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, India, will qualify straight for the ultimate 50-over competition, which will take place in October and November next year.

Schedule:

June 8: 1st ODI, Rawalpindi.

June 10: 2nd ODI, Rawalpindi.

June 12: 3rd ODI, Rawalpindi.
