The upcoming home series between Pakistan and New Zealand is set to undergo a slight schedule change, according to Najam Sethi, the PCB management committee chairman. The series was originally slated to feature five T20Is and five ODIs to be played in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi from April 13 to May 7. However, due to the general elections in Punjab on April 30, there will be some modifications to the original schedule.
Sethi assured fans that the New Zealand series will take place on its original schedule, but with a slight alteration. The original schedule had the series starting in Karachi and then moving to Lahore and Rawalpindi. However, the change in schedule will affect the tour’s initial phase, and details of the new schedule will be announced by the PCB next week.
