The ICC executive board announced last week that India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC Events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue. Alongside, the PCB has been awarded hosting rights of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2028, where neutral venue arrangements will also apply.

Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam is set to make his Test comeback, with the team set to take on South Africa in the first Test of a two-match series, starting Boxing Day. Babar was dropped from the Test team for the last two Tests against England at home, following a string of poor scores. Babar has not scored a century in any format since August last year. During that phase, he played 43 innings across formats. However, Babar will be eyeing a big milestone when the Boxing Day Test gets underway in Centurion.
One of the most iconic moments of Ravichandran Ashwin's career came with the bat in hand, during the T20 World Cup 2022 game between India and Pakistan. Ashwin's iconic leave off Mohammad Nawaz - when India needed two runs off one ball - that saw it go for a wide, remains one of Indian cricket's most memorable moments in recent history. Reminiscing about the game between India and Pakistan, Ashwin said that the moment hadn't sunk in until he saw the way head coach Rahul Dravid reacted.

Pakistan's batting lineup for the Centurion Test has undergone significant reshuffling. Abdullah Shafique, who scored 132 runs in the home Test series against England last October, has been left out.
