Pakistan to Host Historic T20I Tri-Series
Pakistan is set to host its first-ever T20I tri-nation series on home soil. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed the tournament for November, featuring Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. This series is a key part of the preparations for all three teams ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
The tournament will run from November 17 to November 29. It will be a historic moment for Afghanistan, as their first T20I match in Pakistan will kick off the series.

The tri-series will be played across two cities: Rawalpindi and Lahore. Rawalpindi will host the first two matches at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The remaining five matches, including the final, will take place at Lahore’s famous Gaddafi Stadium.
