The Australian cricket team will tour Pakistan next year for first the time since 1998, visiting from March to April for tests, one-day internationals and one Twenty20 match, Pakistan’s cricket board (PCB) said on Monday.

“Australia are one of the high-performing sides and them playing in our backyard for the first time after a gap of 24 years will be a special treat for the fans,” PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said in a statement.
