Australia has confirmed its white-ball tour to Pakistan, scheduled for early next year.

 

Todd Greenberg, the new CEO of Cricket Australia, shared his thoughts during an online press conference, saying, "I believe this will once again be a good tour of Pakistan. The series against Pakistan is an important part of our schedule. There has been good communication between Australia and Pakistan regarding both red-ball and white-ball series."

 

He added, "We are looking to find more opportunities for series, which we definitely will. We want to play a series in Pakistan. In 2022, after a long gap, we toured Pakistan, and that tour was very successful. The Australian team received a warm welcome, and it would be great if more series like that happen."

 

Greenberg also spoke about the Big Bash League (BBL), stating, "We will welcome as many Pakistani players as possible in the BBL. Without a doubt, Pakistani players are very popular in the community. We aim to attract players from around the world for the BBL."

 

He continued, "If leading Pakistani players come, they will definitely enjoy playing here. The presence of top players benefits the league, their teams, and franchises. Discussions regarding Pakistani players are currently ongoing, and I am hopeful that we will secure the participation of a few players for the next edition of the BBL."

 

Australia last toured Pakistan in 2022, marking their first visit in 24 years.
