Pakistan’s cricket season heats up with a packed home schedule leading to the 2025 Champions Trophy. Bangladesh kicks things off with a 2-Test series in August. England, West Indies, South Africa, and New Zealand join the party later, with a historic ODI tri-series adding spice in February. Karachi, Multan, and Rawalpindi will host most matches, with Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium undergoing renovations for the Champions Trophy.
