Pakistan WTC 2023-25 schedule : The WTC 2023-25 edition ended with South Africa’s becoming the World Test Champion. South Africa won the tournament title for the first time and ended its long wait for the title. South Africa reached the WTC final for the first time. Now Temba Bavuma’s team will try to repeat it. The Pakistan cricket team will clash with this South African team in the new bicycle of WTC, which has not yet reached the WTC final. Seeing his schedule in the new WTC, it seems that the same story will continue.
The fourth edition of the WTC will begin from June 17 and the first series will be played between Sri Lanka-Bangladesh. After this, the Test series between India and England will also start from June 20. As far as Pakistan is concerned, its first series is against the World Champion South Africa, which will be played in October and this will start Pakistan’s difficult journey.
Pakistan will face these teams
Like the last 3 editions, this time also 9 teams are participating in WTC and each team has to play 6-6 series. In this, 3 series have to be played at their home and 3 on the land of another team. The schedule of the Pakistani team will also be on this basis. Pakistan will also have to face Sri Lanka (2) and New Zealand (2) in addition to South Africa (2 Tests) at their home. At the same time, his foreign tour seems extremely difficult, where this team has to face Bangladesh (2), West Indies (2) and England (3).
The Pakistani team will not hit Australia in this edition, while there is no question of the series against India. In such a situation, the schedule of the Pakistani team looks easy at first sight. While the Pakistani team can prove to be effective in their home against New Zealand and Sri Lanka, it will be very difficult for him to overcome South Africa as this team also has good spinners besides pacers and the team’s batting looks strong.
This time too difficult to play WTC final?
Pakistan’s real challenge will be abroad, the most difficult tour will be in England, where it has the highest 3 Tests. But the tour of Bangladesh is equally difficult. Especially last year, the way Pakistan had to face 0-2 defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in its house, it is sure to face difficulties on Bangladeshi land. Anyway, no team in Bangladesh gets victory easily.
When the talk of West Indies tour, this team defeated Pakistan in a Test match in its own house this year. In such a situation, the West Indies cricket team will give any kind of opportunity to Pakistan at their home. Overall, the Pakistani team will play 13 Tests in this cycle, but one match for it will not be less than walking on thorns and if the team is not able to reach the WTC final for the fourth time, it will not be surprising.
