(Reuters) - New Zealand will play two tests and three one-day internationals on their tour of Pakistan starting in December, before returning to the country next April for five Twenty20 internationals and five ODIs, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Monday.
Pakistan twice in five months to play two Test matches, eight one-day internationals and five Twenty20 internationals, the Pakistan Cricket Board said on Monday. The two Test matches, which will be part of the World Test Championship, will be played at Karachi from December 27-31 and Multan from January 4-8. Karachi will also host the three ODIs from January 11-15 as part of ICC World Cup Super League. New Zealand will return to Pakistan in April and will play four Twenty20s at Karachi from April 13-19. Lahore will host the fifth T20 and two ODIs from April 23-28 and the remaining three ODIs will be played at Rawalpindi from May 1-7. New Zealand aborted its tour to Pakistan last year just hours before the first ODI in Rawalpindi because of an undisclosed security concern. Ramiz Raja, the PCB chairman, said at the time it was "frustrating" to see the Black Caps walking out of the tour by taking a unilateral approach and not sharing the security threat with Pakistan.
The Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday announced the match schedule of New Zealand men's cricket team's dual tours of Pakistan. The BlackCaps will play two Tests as part of their ICC World Test Championship title defence and three ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League fixtures from December 27 to January 15, before returning for five T20Is and five ODIs from April 13 to May 7.
Moeen Ali said he has closed the door on a return to Test cricket after having an "honest" conversation with coach Brendon McCullum. Moeen made his Test debut in 2014 and went on to score 2,914 runs in 64 Tests at an average of 28.29, picking up 195 wickets. The 35-year-old announced his retirement from the longest format of the game in September last year but in June said McCullum had sounded him out about a potential red-ball return.
