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 ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle.
Both matches will be played in Trinidad and Tobago, with the first Test scheduled from July 25 to 29 and the second from August 2 to 6.
The series will also mark a historic moment for the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, which will host its first ever Test match, making it an important milestone for the venue and regional cricket development.
The opening Test will be held at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy before the action shifts 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 pitches reflect its long-term strategy of staging 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 join the series looking to return to red-ball cricket after a 2-0 whitewashed defeat to Bangladesh earlier this month, marking their second Test assignment in 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, where the two-match series ended level 1-1 with both sides registering a win each.
