In the build-up to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan and Australia will lock horns in a three-match T20I series later this month. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed the schedule, with all matches set to be played in Lahore.
Both teams will not be at full strength for this series, as several first-choice players from both sides are sidelined due to injury.
Australia last played a T20I series at home against India, while Pakistan are coming off a drawn three-match series in Sri Lanka.
PCB’s Chief Operating Officer Sumair Ahmed Syed extended a warm welcome to the visiting team and described the series as a major attraction for cricket fans in Pakistan.
“We are excited and look forward to hosting Australia for the three-match T20I series here in Lahore. The tour marks a blockbuster beginning to the year for Pakistan cricket fans, and I urge them to turn out in numbers during the series to support both teams as they put the final touches to their T20 World Cup preparations.”
“I’m sure the Gaddafi Stadium has become a familiar sight for the Australian cricket team, as they have played a Test, five ODIs and a T20I here since March 2022,” he added.
In 2022, Australia came to Pakistan for a multi-format series. In the last T20I they played at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, the visitors picked up a win.
The three-match series will be played on January 29, January 31 and February 1, with all three matches scheduled as evening fixtures. Australia’s squad is expected to arrive in Lahore on Wednesday, January 28, to play three matches in four days.
