Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Thursday announced the schedule for Pakistan’s two-match Test series in the Caribbean, which will be part of the 2025-2027 cycle of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC).
Both matches will be played in Trinidad and Tobago, with the first test scheduled for July 25-29 and the second for August 2-6.
The series will also mark a historic moment for the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, which is set to host its first ever Test match, making it a significant milestone for the venue and regional cricket development.
The opening Test will take place at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, before the action moves to the iconic Queen’s Park Oval for the second and final Test, ensuring that two of Trinidad’s premier cricket grounds share hosting duties.
The Cricket Council said the fixtures reflect its long-term strategy of bringing international cricket to several Caribbean territories while strengthening fan engagement and expanding the sport’s regional footprint.
It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan will enter the series looking to bounce back in red-ball cricket after a 2-0 loss to Bangladesh earlier this month, marking their second Test assignment of 2026 as they aim to regain form and consistency in the longest format.
Notably, this will be Pakistan’s first Test tour to the Caribbean since 2021, when the two-match series ended tied 1-1, with both teams recording a win each.
