The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday announced the schedule for the white-ball home series against West Indies.

West Indies will touch down in Karachi on 14 April to feature in three ODIs, which are part of ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25, and five T20Is.

The first ball in the ODIs will be bowled at 330pm PKT, while the T20Is will start at 730pm PKT. All matches will be played at the National Bank Stadium (NBS) in Karachi.

“We extend a warm welcome to the West Indies women’s team to Pakistan for the upcoming series. Hosting the fourth women’s championship series at home within the 2022-25 cycle is a testament to PCB’s commitment to promoting women’s cricket and providing our players with opportunities to shine on the international stage,” Head of Women’s Cricket, Tania Mallick, said.

“The forthcoming series against West Indies is not just about cricket; it’s about developing relationships and strengthening bonds between cricketing nations.

“With the ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25 coming to its conclusion for the Pakistan women’s team, the stakes are higher than ever for the women’s team to qualify directly for the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup. The current position of the Pakistan women’s team reflects our determination and dedication, and we aim to collect maximum points from the three championship matches at home.

“Later this year, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is also taking place. In light of this event and the team’s recent good performances in the shortest format, we have scheduled five T20Is against West Indies. The T20I series will help the selectors finalise the squad for the mega event.”
