Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Thursday announced the schedule for Pakistan’s two-match Test series in the Caribbean, which will form part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle.
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 will host its first test match, making it an important milestone for the venue and the development of regional cricket.
The inaugural 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 two of Trinidad’s premier cricket grounds share hosting duties.
The Cricket Board said the matches reflect its long-term strategy of hosting international cricket across multiple 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 narrow 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 of the Caribbean since 2021, when the two-match series ended tied 1-1, with both sides recording one win each.
Pakistan Test Series Schedule
1st test: July 25-29: Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Trinidad and Tobago
