New Zealand to play 2 Tests, 8 ODIs and 5 T20Is in Pakistan

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.
