The New Zealand cricket team will tour Pakistan in September for the first time in 18 years. They will play three ODIs and five T20Is starting from September 17, just before the ICC T20 World Cup.

The Pakistan Cricket Board announced the tour itinerary on Thursday. This series against New Zealand will mark the beginning of a long home season for Pakistan. They will play next against England, West Indies, and Australia.

“Series against a top-ranked side like New Zealand will be a perfect start to a mouth-watering and highly-exciting home season of red and white-ball cricket. The 2019 World Cup finalists, who are also the World Test champions and ranked third in T20Is, will draw tremendous attraction and interest from the local fans, and will reinforce Pakistan’s status as a safe and secure country,” PCB chief executive Wasim Khan said in a press release.

The New Zealand Cricket team will arrive in Pakistan on September 11 and will be in isolation till September 14. They will start their training the next day. New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said that they are elated to play against Pakistan.

We’re very much looking forward to returning to Pakistan for the start of their home international season. New Zealand was the first country outside India to tour Pakistan and we share a close relationship with the PCB. It’s great that, after such a difficult time for Pakistan, international cricket is again being played in the country,” said David White.
