Australia to tour Pakistan for three ODIs in May-June

Australia are set to tour Pakistan for a three-match ODI series starting May 30. The touring party will arrive in Islamabad on May 23 ahead of the opening ODI in Rawalpindi, while the second and third games will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on June 2 and 4 respectively.

Australia last toured Pakistan in January earlier this year for a three-match T20I series. They also played all three of their Champions Trophy 2025 group-stage fixtures in Pakistan, although two of those matches were washed out.

Australia will likely be without several senior players, including skipper Pat Cummins, due to the series clashing with the end of the IPL. Cricket Australia confirmed that players involved in the IPL will be allowed to complete their commitments without interruptions.

This will be Australia's first ODI assignment since their home series against India last October. They will subsequently travel to Bangladesh for an all-format tour beginning June 9.
